       HONORING FLORIDA FIRE MARSHAL OF THE YEAR JENNIFER PIERCE

  (Mr. SPANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SPANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the 2019 Florida Fire Marshal 
of the Year, Jennifer Pierce.
  Pierce currently serves as the fire marshal of the Clermont Fire 
Department. With over 15 years of fire service under her belt, she also 
oversees the daily operations of the fire prevention division, which 
includes reviewing life safety plans, conducting fire investigations, 
and coordinating community relations.
  Clermont city manager Darren Gray highlighted how Fire Marshal Pierce 
has provided ``the highest level of service to Clermont's growing list 
of businesses, especially working with downtown's historic buildings 
and new business owners.''
  In addition to being awarded the Fire Marshal of the Year title, 
Pierce was chosen to serve as the statewide director of fire marshals 
on the Florida Fire Marshals and Inspectors Association's board of 
directors.
  Her leadership and dedication to the city of Clermont has been 
exceptional, and I am confident that we will see more outstanding 
contributions from her in the future.
  From the bottom of my heart, I thank Fire Marshal Pierce and all the 
incredible first responders who serve District 15 and our Nation.
