  RECOGNIZING ASSISTANT CHIEF JACK MULCAHY FOR 41 YEARS AT THE GLENS 
                         FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ELISE M. STEFANIK

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 25, 2018

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Assistant 
Chief Jack Mulcahy on his retirement from the Glens Falls Fire 
Department after 41 years of service.
  After serving in the Army and then the Navy, Mulcahy intended to 
become a State Police Trooper, but instead found himself with a 
temporary job at the Glens Falls Fire Department. This summer job 
turned into a four-decade career of helping those in his community as a 
firefighter. Mulcahy served in his role of assistant chief for ten 
years, and before that, a lieutenant for 15 years. Not only did Mulcahy 
risk his own life in fires to save others, but he also enjoyed 
assisting citizens in their everyday problems, like rescuing pets from 
trees. Mulcahy considers himself lucky to have been part of the Glens 
Falls firefighter ``extended family,'' and looks forward to keeping in 
touch but also having more time to spend with his wife, three children, 
and grandson.
  On behalf of New York's 21st district, I would like to thank 
Assistant Chief Mulcahy for his years of hard work and dedication to 
his community, and wish him all the best in the years ahead.
