                      Thursday, September 14, 2017

  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize the Amity Fire Company for 
serving Berks County, PA since 1961. These men and women work 
tirelessly to ensure the safety of the community to which they belong. 
Since extinguishing their first fire in 1963, the Amity Fire Company 
continues to help local citizens who find themselves in harm's way.
  The Amity Fire Company held its first social event in 1964. They 
sought to provide an opportunity for citizens to kindle relationships 
with their first responders. Since then, the fire company has become a 
pillar of stability in the area. They serve as a model for how an 
engaged and proactive group of leaders can contribute to a community's 
safety and welfare. I commend the personnel of the Amity Fire Company 
for all their efforts and wish them another 56 years of success.
