House concurrent resolution honoring teenage Rockingham volunteer firefighter Alex Leonard for his heroism and decisive action

This bill is a House concurrent resolution that formally honors Alex Leonard, a 17-year-old volunteer firefighter from Rockingham, Vermont, for his heroic actions during a home fire. The resolution recognizes Leonard's quick decision-making when he used a fire extinguisher and closed a burning room door, which prevented the fire from spreading and saved his family's home. It also acknowledges his role in helping emergency responders evacuate his father, who uses a wheelchair. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send copies to Leonard, the Rockingham Fire Chief, and the Bellows Falls Fire Chief.
