2017, at the Pearl Street Bar and Grill in Buffalo, New York; and WHEREAS, Paul Uzar is receiving this distinguished award for his steadfast and unremitting commitment to the Newton Abbott Volunteer Fire Company and to his community; and WHEREAS, Chartered in 1934, the Newton Abbott Volunteer Fire Company, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization which provides fire protection, heavy rescue, and emergency medical services to one of nine fire protection districts in the Town of Hamburg, New York; the district, located in the northeastern corner of the town, is largely commercial/industrial with several residential communities; and WHEREAS, Firefighters unwaveringly serve our great State with pride, valor, and integrity; these respected volunteers are often the first to respond to an emergency, whether the emergency is a fire, transportation accident, natural disaster, act of terrorism, medical crisis, or spill of hazardous materials; and WHEREAS, It takes a special dedication, a strong desire to help others and a tireless sense of community to forsake precious time with family and friends to respond to the signal that a neighbor is in need; Paul Uzar is such a firefighter; this volunteer heroically performed, above and beyond the call of duty, those responsibilities which define the task of fire protection; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to commend Paul Uzar upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition after 25 years of dedicated service to the Newton Abbott Volunteer Fire Company, Inc. on April 1, 2017; and be it further RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be transmitted to Paul Uzar.
