  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, We are fortunate in New York's 16th 
Congressional District to have some of the finest first-responders 
anywhere in the country. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the 
Village of Mamaroneck, where the Village Volunteer Fire Department has 
provided its citizens with courageous fire protection for 129 years.
  The Village of Mamaroneck Volunteer Fire department is comprised of a 
highly skilled

dedicated team committed to providing the highest level of safety, 
protection of life, property and the environment to those who live, 
work or play in our community. The five fire companies that comprise 
the department: Hook & Ladder Co., No. 1, Mamaro Engine & Hose Co. No. 
1, Columbia Engine & Hose Co. No. 2, Volunteers Engine & Hose Co. No. 
3, and Halstead Manor Engine & Hose Co. No. 4 operate out of four fire 
stations with over 200 volunteers. The Mamaroneck Fire Department 
operates with five Engines, two Aerial Trucks, two Utility Trucks, 
three Chiefs Vehicles, and one Fire Boat and responds to approximately 
800 fire emergencies a year.
  The Mamaroneck Fire Department has always done an outstanding job 
keeping its citizens safe, and as a result The New Jewish Home, Sarah 
Neuman is honoring the department at their 25th Anniversary 
celebration. They have chosen to acknowledge an incredible partner in 
the community. I too would like to congratulate the Village of 
Mamaroneck Fire Department Day in recognition of the significant impact 
they have made and continue to make in the community, and as a partner 
with The New Jewish Home, Sarah Neuman in serving the elders of our 
community.
