WHEREAS, Timothy White joined the North Bailey Fire Company on
August 11, 1967; throughout his 50 years of service, he held several

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

WHEREAS, It takes a special dedication, a strong desire to help
others and a tireless sense of community to forsake precious time with

of duty, those responsibilities which define the task of fire

honor Timothy White upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the North Bailey Fire
