  This is a great milestone and a considerable accomplishment and I 
take great pleasure in being able to honor the men and women of the 
Ridge Fire Company for their dedication and outstanding service.
  For 75 years the officers, firefighters, and fire police of Ridge 
Fire Company have proudly and capably served and protected the 
thousands of citizens of northern Chester County, including the 
Townships of East Coventry, South Coventry, East Vincent, Warwick and 
West Vincent. They have always answered the call to help their 
neighbors in distress, whether it is putting out a fire, aiding those 
whose homes have flooded, or rescuing animals.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me today in recognizing 
Ridge Fire Company on its 75th anniversary and to honor this exemplary 
organization for its commitment, dedication, and outstanding history of 
service to its community.
