| WHEREAS, For their lifesaving actions on June 5, 2016, | ||
| members of the Marshall Fire Department received the 2017 Crew of | ||
| the Year Award from the Texas Emergency Medical Services for | ||
| Children State Partnership; and | ||
| WHEREAS, During an afternoon cookout in Marshall, a | ||
| three-year-old girl was swimming with other children when she | ||
| slipped out of her life vest and sank to the bottom of the pool; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A family friend, Officer Matt Cooper, quickly dove | ||
| through the water to retrieve the young girl, who was not breathing | ||
| and who had no pulse; Battalion Chief Randall Jeans, of the | ||
| Marshall Fire Department, retired Battalion Chief Mike Jeans, and | ||
| registered nurse Kim Heath were in attendance that day and rendered | ||
| CPR until the toddler was able to breathe on her own; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Soon after, an ambulance crew, which included | ||
| Lieutenant John Wilson and firefighters Justin Cox, Kyle Cates, | ||
| and Jordan Allen, arrived on the scene to transport the girl to | ||
| the emergency room; the following day, she was released from the | ||
| hospital, and she has since made a full recovery; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Faced with a crisis situation, these inspiring | ||
| public servants drew on their training to avert what could have | ||
| been a tragic event, and in so doing, they exemplified the | ||
| highest ideals of their profession; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend the Marshall | ||
| Fire Department on its receipt of the 2017 Crew of the Year Award | ||
| from the Texas Emergency Medical Services for Children State | ||
| Partnership and extend to the department's members sincere best | ||
| wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| the Marshall Fire Department as an expression of high regard from | ||
| the Texas Senate. | ||
