Senate Resolution No. 1947

BY: Senator STEC

HONORING Donald J. Volkmann upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the Bolton Fire Department

WHEREAS, Citizens across our State and Nation are inspired by and indebted to our noble volunteer firefighters who exhibit courage and bravery every day in the course of their duties; and

WHEREAS, Volunteer firefighters exemplify the power of human compassion and the strength of the American spirit through actions of the most heroic magnitude; their sacrifices and their selfless dedication merit tribute and recognition by all citizens of this great country; and

WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to honor Donald J. Volkmann upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the Bolton Fire Department to be celebrated on May 2, 2026; and

WHEREAS, Donald J. Volkmann has consistently demonstrated a level of commitment, dedication, integrity and professionalism which truly exemplifies excellence in the volunteer service; and

WHEREAS, Since joining the Bolton Fire Department in 1968, Donald J. Volkmann has served the department in a great number of positions including as 2nd lieutenant, 4th Assistant Chief, 2nd Assistant Chief, 1st Assistant Chief, Fire Chief, Fire Commissioner, President, and Chairman of the Board of Fire Commissioners; and

WHEREAS, Firefighters unwaveringly serve our great State with pride, valor, and integrity; these respected volunteers are often the first to respond to an emergency, whether the emergency is a fire, transportation accident, natural disaster, act of terrorism, medical crisis, or spill of hazardous materials; and

WHEREAS, It takes a special dedication, a strong desire to help others and a tireless sense of community to forsake precious time with family and friends to respond to the signal that a neighbor is in need; Donald J. Volkmann is such a firefighter; throughout 50 years of devoted service, this volunteer heroically performed, above and beyond the call of duty, those responsibilities which define the task of fire protection; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to honor Donald J. Volkmann upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the Bolton Fire Department; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be transmitted to Donald J. Volkmann.
