The resolution honors Warwick Police Captain Charles Boisseau for his heroic actions on July 5, 2025, when he saved a Cranston family from a house fire. Captain Boisseau, a dedicated public servant with a 30-year career in the Warwick Police Department and a distinguished military background as a Combat Medic in the U.S. Army, noticed a fire in front of a home while returning from a detail. He quickly alerted the sleeping occupants, attempted to extinguish the flames, and ultimately re-entered the house to rescue the homeowner's wife and three young children, ensuring their safety without injury.

The resolution commends Captain Boisseau's bravery and selflessness, highlighting the critical role he played in preventing a potentially tragic outcome. The Cranston Fire Department confirmed that the fire was caused by improperly discarded fireworks, and Chief Michael J. Winquist praised Captain Boisseau's immediate response as vital to the family's survival. The House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island officially recognizes and thanks Captain Boisseau for his courageous actions, and a certified copy of the resolution will be sent to him.
