                RECOGNIZING THE NEWBERRY FIRE DEPARTMENT

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
South Carolina (Mr. Norman) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. NORMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the heroic actions 
by members of the Newberry Fire Department.
  On March 1, 2019, the alpha shift, comprised of Captain Andrew 
Morris, Lieutenant Brian Beck, Senior Engineer Benjamin Dukes, 
firefighter Richard Doran, and volunteer firefighter Barry Brown, were 
working a wreck on Third Street when they received an urgent call of a 
hit-and-run incident on Louis Rich Road.
  The firefighters responded to the call and found the victim of the 
hit and run

completely unresponsive. The firefighters immediately performed CPR on 
the victim and as a result of these actions, the person gained a pulse 
and began breathing. The brave actions of these dedicated public 
servants resulted in a life being saved, and in the words of the late 
Prime Minister of Great Britain Winston Churchill, who said the 
following: There are times when doing one's best is not good enough. 
One must do what is required.
  The brave firefighters of Newberry Fire Department's alpha shift did 
what was required, and as a result, a life was saved.
