                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 9, 2015

  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a Granite State first 
responder for forty years of service to the Wolfeboro Fire-Rescue 
Department in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire.
   Chief Philip ``Butch'' Morrill joined the Wolfeboro Fire-Rescue 
Department in September of 1975 as a call firefighter. Four years later 
on October 23, 1979 he joined the ranks of the department as a full 
time firefighter, committed to protecting his community and the Greater 
Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Firefighter Morrill was a standout 
member of the department and would work through the ranks of the 
department over the next twenty five years before being appointed Chief 
on May 3, 2004. In addition to his duties with the Wolfeboro Fire-
Rescue Department, Chief Morrill was also an active member of the New 
England Association of Fire Chiefs, serving as its President in 2013-
2014.
   On November 30, 2015 Chief Morrill retired with forty years of 
service to the people of Wolfeboro and the Granite State. On behalf of 
the people of the First Congressional District of New Hampshire, I 
thank him for his dedicated service to the community and wish him all 
the best in his retirement.
