Anniversary.

WHEREAS,
The members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio are
pleased to commend the East Palestine Fire Department on the One

instrument for local safety, responding to even the most challenging
of emergencies with speed and professionalism, and its commitment to
excellence has been clearly visible in all of its endeavors; and

WHEREAS,
Over the past century and a half, the East Palestine Fire Department
has witnessed many changes in the field of emergency services, and it
has worked diligently to keep pace with these challenges. Indeed, the
agency’s achievements are a justifiable source of pride and an
outstanding reflection not only on the department itself but also on
its on its diligent firefighters and on the entire community; and

While many people are content to take a passive role in life, the
members of the East Palestine Fire Department have often risked their
own safety to ensure the well-being of their fellow citizens, and the
enthusiasm and devotion to duty that they have shown have earned them
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 that has long been the department’s hallmark; therefore
be it

RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of

finest citizens; and be it further
