  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize Garden City firefighter 
Patrick Renner in honor of his promotion to engineer.
  Firefighter Renner joined the Garden City Fire Department as a 
Firefighter and Paramedic in January of 2017. He prepared for the 
Engineer position by completing training for Fire Pump Operator and 
Driver Operator. He also completed the necessary training to stand in 
as an acting Engineer. Over the course of his career, Firefighter 
Renner has completed training courses, including Firefighter Safety and 
Survival, Rapid Intervention Training, Reading Smoke, Machine Rescue, 
Trench Rescue, and Fire Investigation. He has stepped up to mentor the 
newest members of the Department and serves on the Department's Fire 
Committee, researching gear and equipment needs.
  A graduate of Southgate High School in 2005, Patrick Renner completed 
his EMT-B and EMT-P certifications and graduated from the Fire Academy 
at Wayne County Community College. Outside of his work, he enjoys 
spending time with his wife Melissa, and their 4 year old son, Jason.
  Please join me in congratulating Patrick Renner on his promotion to 
Engineer as we thank him for his service to the people of Garden City 
in Michigan's 12th District Strong.
