  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
and thank the Mapleton Fire Department in Huntingdon County for its 100 
years of service to our community.
  Organized on May 13, 1921, the original fire company was comprised of 
36 volunteers. Since then, the Mapleton Volunteer Fire Department and 
its iconic green fire trucks have been a staple in the Huntingdon 
County community.
  Firefighters' commitment and service to our community are invaluable. 
Volunteer firefighters often are called on to respond to calls ranging 
from structure fires to medical emergencies. These brave men and women 
show their commitment to our community through their diverse and often-
difficult work.
  For the past century, volunteer firefighters in Mapleton have worked 
tirelessly to protect life and property. As they mark this incredible 
achievement, I am grateful to the Mapleton firefighters for their 
steadfast service to our community and I wish them continued safety and 
success.
