                   IN HONOR OF THE GIBBSTOWN FIRE CO.

                                 ______


                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 14, 1996

  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I take this opportunity to honor the 
volunteers of the Gibbstown Fire Co. These brave individuals risk their 
lives every day protecting the citizens of Gibbstown. I commend all of 
them for their invaluable services to our community.
  On May 11, 1996, the company dedicated the opening of their new fire 
station. The firemen themselves helped with the cost of the building by 
raising $140,000. The new station has the capability to house up to 
five firemen, is completely computerized, and handicapped accessible. 
Along with the countless hours of training and dedication required to 
serve as a fireman, this building will help save lives.
  I ask my colleagues to stand with me and applaud the selfless efforts 
of the Gibbstown Fire Co., and all fire companies for that matter. 
These heroes sacrifice their own lives to make our communities a safer 
place.
