Commending Wade Peck upon the occasion of his designation as a recipient of a Liberty Medal, the highest honor bestowed upon an individual by the New York State Senate

This New York State Senate resolution commends Wade Peck for receiving a Liberty Medal, the highest individual honor bestowed by the body. The award recognizes his courageous actions in August 2026 when he stopped to help a family whose home was threatened by a spreading vehicle fire in Farmington. Utilizing his experience as a former volunteer firefighter, Peck used a garden hose and directed the residents to use fire extinguishers to slow the blaze until professional emergency crews arrived. The resolution notes that all occupants evacuated safely without injury and directs that an official copy of the commendation be sent to Mr. Peck.
