                         Tuesday, May 14, 2013

  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the dedication 
of the Roseville Fire Station No. 9.
   The Roseville, California Fire Department was first organized in 
1907 with 16 volunteer firefighters staffing two hose carts to provide 
nearly 2,500 residents with fire protection. Today the Roseville Fire 
Department serves over 120,000 residents within 44 square miles. 
Whether it's a medical emergency, a fire, a hazardous material 
incident, or natural disaster, the Roseville firefighters are prepared 
to respond to the needs of their community.
   The opening of a ninth fire station reflects the vision of the 
Roseville Fire Department to operate effectively and efficiently to 
protect and enhance the safety and well-being of its residents, 
businesses, customers and partners. The new facility is the result of a 
community effort that will provide for the advancement of public safety 
and the delivery of exceptional service for years to come.
   Mr. Speaker, it is impossible to overestimate the necessity of fire 
protection or to measure the countless contributions these firefighters 
make to our community. It is with great pleasure that I rise today to 
thank the Roseville Fire Department for its great service and 
contributions throughout the region.
