  Mr. VALADAO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 100th 
anniversary of the Lemoore Volunteer Fire Department. The Lemoore 
Volunteer Fire Department is celebrating their 100th anniversary of 
service to the Central Valley community of Lemoore. Over the last one 
hundred years, this fire department has consisted of entirely community 
volunteers. The dedication, commitment, and service of these citizens 
have kept the community safe and informed.
  In service to the Lemoore community, fire department members 
contribute hundreds of volunteer hours in service, training, and 
community involvement. They participate in the annual Lemoore Christmas 
Tree display, educational school presentations, and various community 
celebrations. In addition, the Lemoore Volunteer Fire Department has 
maintained their commitment to service throughout the COVID-19 pandemic 
in risk of their own health and safety.
  The Lemoore Volunteer Fire Department members have worked hard to 
uphold the numerous traditions and sense of camaraderie that set the 
department apart. These continued traditions work to promote unity and 
loyalty throughout the Lemoore community.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the House of Representatives to 
join me in honoring the Lemoore Volunteer Fire Department on their 
100th anniversary.
