    Assistant Majority Leader Paul Krekorian Honors Firefighters
    Does so as Golden Shield Act nears passage



    SACRAMENTO - Assistant Majority Leader Paul Krekorian (D-Burbank) issued
    the
    following statement Monday on the death of two Los Angeles County
    Firefighters, who lost their lives battling the Southern California
    wildfires.



    `As the dangerous wildfires continue to batter Southern California, I extend
    my deep condolences to the families of Captain Tedmund Hall and firefighter
    Specialist Arnaldo Quinones, who paid the ultimate price last night while
    protecting Southern California from disaster. Captain Hall and Specialist
    Quinones exemplify the selflessness embodied in the nearly 3,000
    firefighters from Los Angeles, Burbank, Glendale and across California who
    courageously work around the clock to limit loss of life and property.'



    Krekorian is the author of the Golden Shield Act, legislation that honors
    public safety officers who have been killed in the line of duty. The
    legislation, AB 671, passed the Senate Committee on Appropriations August 17
    and is headed to a vote on the Senate floor Wednesday. The Assembly plans to
    officially honor the fallen firefighters at the end of session today.



    Assemblymember Paul Krekorian represents the cities of Burbank and
    Glendale, and the Los Angeles communities of Atwater Village, Los Feliz,
    North Hollywood, Silver Lake, Toluca Lake, Valley Glen and Van Nuys. His
