           HONORING DAYNA HILTON FOR HER NATIONAL RECOGNITION

  (Mr. BOOZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOOZMAN. My constituent, Dayna Hilton, was recently named the 
2009 Educator of the Year by the National Fire Protection Association. 
She has diligently been involved in fire service for 9 years. She 
currently serves as the Public Fire and Life Safety Educator for 
Johnson County's Rural Fire Department in Clarksville, Arkansas, and is 
an instructor for both the Arkansas Fire Academy and the National Fire 
Academy.
  Dayna encouraged the Rural Fire Department in Johnson County to make 
fire prevention part of its mission. Now it has a Fire Prevention 
Division and, thanks to Dayna's efforts, has received almost $150,000 
in grants and awards for fire prevention efforts.
  In addition to serving the State of Arkansas, Dayna has published 
numerous articles, appeared on several television networks, and 
recorded educational videos to promote fire and safety on the national 
level. Dayna owns Firehouse Dog Publishing, and is the published author 
of Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Dayna.
