  Ms. WEXTON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Frederick 
County Fire Rescue's Chief Denny Linaburg on his retirement

and thank him for his many years of dedicated service.
  Denny has served in the Frederick County Fire Department for 30 
years, and began his career in the fire service as a volunteer at 
Greenwood Fire and Rescue in 1983.
  He is a Nationally Registered Paramedic, a Fire Officer, Fire 
Investigator and certified Law Enforcement Officer and Instructor. He 
holds various certifications in each field.
  Prior to his appointment as Chief, Denny was the Chief Fire Marshal, 
responsible for code enforcement, law enforcement and emergency 
management and planning. Denny graduated from both the Virginia Fire 
Marshal Academy and the Rappahannock Regional Criminal Justice Academy.
  Outside of his service with the Frederick County Fire Department, 
Denny is also an active member of his community and is involved with 
several civic organizations. He is a current Board Member of the 
Virginia Association of Arson Investigators and served as the President 
from 2011 to 2012. Currently, he is a member of the Virginia Fire 
Prevention Association, the Virginia Association of Fire Chiefs and the 
Shenandoah Valley Joint Committee of Arson Investigators. He was 
appointed to the Virginia Fire Services Board by Governor Terry 
McAuliffe and is currently serving his second term.
  Now that Denny is retiring, he will have more time to enjoy his 
family and some of his favorite pastimes, which include hunting, 
fishing and hiking, as well as working on collector and antique 
vehicles. I wish him well and thank him for his dedicated service.
