  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Deputy Fire Chief 
John H. Price for receiving the professional designations of Certified 
Fire Investigator and Fire Officer. Deputy Chief Price has been a fire 
fighter for the Easton Fire Department for 31 and a half years. After 
five years of study and hard work, Deputy Chief Price received the 
Certified Fire Investigator (CFI) certification. Through education, 
training, and years of experience, he met the requirements needed to 
pass the comprehensive exam and successfully obtain certification. 
Deputy Chief Price joins the 58 other Certified Fire Investigators in 
Pennsylvania. Additionally, Deputy Chief Price was awarded the 
designation of Fire Officer (FO) by the Commission on Professional 
Credentialing. There are only three Fire Officers in Pennsylvania, and 
Deputy Chief Price is the first officer from the Lehigh Valley to 
obtain that distinction.
  I offer my congratulations to Deputy Chief Price for obtaining the 
Certified Fire Investigator and Fire Officer certifications, and I 
applaud him for his continuing dedication to the City of Easton Fire 
Department and his outstanding efforts to develop as a professional in 
order to keep the Easton community safe. I ask my fellow Members to 
join me in recognizing Deputy Chief John Price for his outstanding 
service and achievements.
