       IN HONOR OF HOUSTON FIRE DEPARTMENT CAPTAIN DWIGHT BAZILE

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. AL GREEN

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 27, 2015

  Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I would like to honor the memory 
of a brave firefighter and exceptional man, Houston Fire Department 
(HFD) Captain Dwight Bazile of Houston Fire Station 46.
  On Thursday, February 19, 2015, Captain Bazile suffered a cardiac 
arrest after assisting in the extinguishment of a fire at a duplex in 
south Houston. Two days later, Captain Bazile, aged 57, passed away at 
Memorial Hermann Hospital. He is survived by his wife, Pamela Bazile; 
his college-aged son, Dwight Bazile, II; and his mother, Charlotte 
Felder.
  The loss of this intrepid fire captain, father, husband, and son is 
inestimable. Captain Bazile, as with all of our firefighters, 
selflessly risked his life and limbs to save people in the most dire 
circumstances. While our community is emotionally devastated, we are 
also in awe of the leadership, dignity, and courage of the late Captain 
Bazile.
  Mr. Speaker, as we sadly bid farewell to Captain Bazile, we must find 
consolation in knowing that in his 37 years in HFD, Captain Bazile 
saved and comforted many all while ``in the line of duty.''
