                        ENFIELD FIRE DEPARTMENT

 Mr. LIEBERMAN. Mr. President, I rise today to honor the 
Enfield Fire Department on the occasion of their 100th anniversary.
  For the past 100 years this dedicated group of men and women have 
strived to ensure the safety of the community of Enfield, CT. Their 
dedication is evident in their unshakable commitment to self sacrifice 
for the security of their friends, families, and neighbors. Indeed some 
have given the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives while trying to 
protect their fellow citizens.
  This organization's dedication and commitment to the town of Enfield 
can be seen not only through the fire department's actions but also in 
the great confidence and respect the residents of Enfield place upon 
these men and women. Ordinary men and women asked to perform 
extraordinary tasks, never asking what was in it for them. The 
community's faith in their fire department has not wavered in its first 
100 years and will undoubtedly continue through the next century.
  The Enfield Fire Department has been an important stone in the 
foundation of the town of Enfield. The people of Connecticut thank them 
for their service, dedication, and contribution to their 
community.
