of the Year.

WHEREAS,
The members of the House of Representatives of the 136th General
Assembly of Ohio are pleased to extend special recognition to the
Springfield Fire Rescue Division on being presented with the 2026
Ohio Fire Department of the Year Award by the Ohio Department of
Commerce Division of State Fire Marshal and the Ohio Department of
Public Safety Division of EMS; and

WHEREAS,
This prestigious award is a fitting tribute to the Springfield Fire
Rescue Division, for throughout its history, it has achieved a
praiseworthy record of service to local residents. The
accomplishments of this outstanding department are a justifiable
source of pride and a fine reflection not only on the institution
itself but also on its diligent members and on the entire community;
and

WHEREAS,
While many people are content to take a passive role in life, the
members of the Springfield Fire Rescue Division have risked their own
safety to ensure the well-being of their fellow citizens, and they
have earned the gratitude and respect of the community they have so
capably served. We are certain that as they maintain their dedication
to service, these individuals will continue in the tradition of
excellence which has long been the agency's hallmark; and

WHEREAS,
Countless citizens in the community owe their safety, and some their
very lives, to the volunteers of the Springfield Fire Rescue
Division, who have displayed outstanding courage and initiative in
the performance of their duties. Their enthusiasm and devotion are
truly astounding; therefore be it

RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 136th
General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend the
members of the Springfield Fire Rescue Division for their loyal
service to the community and salute them as exemplary Ohioans; and be
it further

RESOLVED,
That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly
authenticated copy of this Resolution to the Springfield Fire Rescue
Division.
