“Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the members of Ohio's Lyons-Royalton Fire Department, a pillar of the Lyons community. Firefighters recently saved the life of a local man while responding to a fire call. Homeowners Barb and Steve Bates reported a fire that had sparked in the woods. When the fire crew arrived, they contained the fire with the help of Mr. Bates, who then, sadly, experienced cardiac arrest. Firefighter and EMT Tim Ellithorpe, Fire Chief Devon Kelble, and Lyons Fire Chief Zachary Miramontes launched into action, performing lifesaving efforts. They succeeded. This illustrates how our brave first responders will always answer the call. In honor of the bravery of all first responders lost in the line of duty and recognizing National Fallen Firefighters Memorial weekend, let us celebrate those who are sworn to serve and to their dedication to public service to others. As members of our community who have made great sacrifices, first responders truly are the backbone of public safety. They are the heroes and sheroes of our northwest Ohio community. ____________________”
