         RECOGNIZING HOLLOWAY TERRACE FIRE COMPANY OF DELAWARE

  (Mr. CARNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CARNEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the many 
volunteer fire companies that play such an important role in protecting 
public safety in my home State of Delaware.
  Like many Delawareans who have seen or been helped directly by one of 
our volunteer firefighters, I continue to be amazed and humbled by 
their professionalism and willingness to sacrifice to put the safety of 
others ahead of their own.
  Today, I'd like to recognize the Holloway Terrace Fire Company, which 
is celebrating 90 years of service to our community. For generations, 
members of the Holloway Terrace Fire Company have given their all to 
protect those who live and work in New Castle, Delaware.
  In that time, no one has given more to the fire company than Mr. 
William ``Bill'' Maxwell, Sr. This year Bill is celebrating 50 years of 
service in the Holloway Terrace Fire Company. He joined as a junior 
member and has risen through the ranks to become deputy chief, fire 
chief, and now a member of the board of directors.
  I would like to thank every volunteer firefighter who works to 
protect Delaware communities and encourage them to continue their 
service for many years to come.
