                TRIBUTE TO IOWA FIRE CHIEF LARRY SQUIRES

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 20, 2010

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Marshalltown, Iowa 
Fire Chief Larry Squires on the occasion of his retirement.
  Chief Squires has honorably served with the Marshalltown Fire 
Department for the past 30 years. During the past three decades, Chief 
Squires played an instrumental role in the many changes and 
improvements in fire protection and EMS delivery throughout the city. 
Even during his last days as fire chief, Chief Squires is continually 
looking for ways to improve safety and response times with the 
suggestion of an additional fire station on the opposite side of town. 
His forward thinking and dedication to public safety speaks volumes of 
his job as a public servant who is well respected and loved by the 
people of Marshalltown.
  I know that my colleagues in the United States Congress join me in 
commending Chief Squires for his many years of loyalty and service in 
protecting the community of Marshalltown. It is an immense honor to 
represent Chief Squires in Congress, and I wish all the best to him as 
he embarks on this next chapter in life.
