Bill > J01124

This resolution honors four high school students from Whitesboro and Dolgeville, New York—Aidan Kane, Tyler Sodja, Donato Jellenich, and Morgan Randall—for their heroic actions during an emergency on May 17, 2025. While returning from their high school prom, the teenagers encountered a garage on fire next to a home and quickly took decisive steps to help: Aidan Kane alerted potential residents by pounding on the front door, Tyler Sodja investigated the burning garage, Donato Jellenich contacted emergency services, and Morgan Randall cared for two young girls who had been evacuated. Through their collective teamwork and brave immediate reactions, they successfully evacuated two children and their father from the at-risk home, preventing what could have been a potentially tragic situation. The resolution officially recognizes their selfless and noble actions in protecting the family from harm and helping to prevent further fire spread, and it directs that copies of the resolution be transmitted to each of the four students as a formal acknowledgment of their heroism.
