                HONORING THE SERVICE OF CHIEF DELL URBAN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT J. DOLD

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 27, 2016

  Mr. DOLD. Mr. Speaker, last week, on Monday, April 18, 2016, I rose 
to honor Dell Urban, the Chief of the North Chicago Fire Department, on 
her more than 25 years of service to the department. Ms. Urban is the 
first female fire chief in Lake County, and is one of only two female 
fire chiefs in the State of Illinois.
  During my remarks, I incorrectly stated that Chief Urban was 
retiring. I would like to correct the record, congratulate Chief Urban 
for her dedicated service to the community of North Chicago for more 
than 25 years, and thank her for her service in the years to come. Here 
is the speech as it should have been delivered:

       I rise today to honor Dell Urban, the Chief of the North 
     Chicago Fire Department on her more than 25 years on the 
     force. Ms. Urban is the first female fire chief in Lake 
     County, and one of only two female fire chiefs in the State 
     of Illinois.
       As fire chief, Ms. Urban has been responsible for saving 
     countless lives and has done her duty protecting the 
     community of North Chicago. We should all aspire to be as 
     brave as the firemen who lay down their lives each and every 
     day to ensure our safety.
       In addition to performing her duties, Ms. Urban has been a 
     mentor and a friend to many firefighters throughout her time 
     as chief, and the station today is far better off than before 
     she was chief.
       I want to thank Ms. Urban for her service and wish her the 
     best as she continues to serve the community of North 
     Chicago.
