TRIBUTE TO SUNY CANTON FIRST RESPONDERS
______
HON. WILLIAM L. OWENS
of new york
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the heroism of those responsible for safely controlling a fire that broke out on campus at SUNY Canton this month.
Following a fire in the chemistry lab inside Cook Hall, it was the unquestionable valor and commitment of these men and women that protected students, faculty and administrators.
These individuals acted with the utmost professionalism and courage when called to duty and protected members of their community. These first responders prevented untold amounts of injury to our friends and neighbors, and saved the school from a much worse situation.
On behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives, I commend and thank these emergency personnel, agencies and individuals for their bravery, selflessness, and assistance.
