Senate Resolution No. 781 BY: Senator HELMING HONORING Christina L. Bliek upon the occasion of her designation as the 2016 Firefighter of the Year by the Port Gibson Volunteer Fire Department WHEREAS, Citizens across our State and Nation are inspired by and indebted to our noble volunteer firefighters who exhibit courage and bravery every day in the course of their duties; and WHEREAS, Volunteer firefighters exemplify the power of human compassion and the strength of the American spirit through actions of the most heroic magnitude; their sacrifices and their selfless dedication merit tribute and recognition by all citizens of this great country; and WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is proud to honor Christina L. Bliek upon the occasion of her designation as the 2016 Firefighter of the Year by the Port Gibson Volunteer Fire Department, to be celebrated at its 70th Annual Banquet on Saturday, March 4, 2017, at the Palmyra VFW Post No. 6778, Palmyra, New York; and WHEREAS, Christina L. Bliek joined the Port Gibson Volunteer Fire Department in 2014; throughout her three years of service, she has eagerly furthered her skill set; after finishing the basic course, she successfully completed the very difficult interior attack sequence and then the fire officer course; and WHEREAS, Well-respected by her peers for her enthusiasm and her strong work ethic, Christina L. Bliek served as an officer on the truck side of the Department and as the head trustee on the business side; and WHEREAS, In addition to her duties as a firefighter, Christina L. Bliek became a vital member of the Ambulance Crew after earning her New York State Certification as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT); 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; Christina L. Bliek is such a firefighter; throughout three years of devoted service, 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 honor Christina L. Bliek upon the occasion of her designation as the

2016 Firefighter of the Year by the Port Gibson Volunteer Fire Department; and be it further RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be transmitted to Christina L. Bliek.
