                        IN MEMORY OF JASON ARNO

  (Mr. HIGGINS of New York asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Madam Speaker, last week the Buffalo Fire 
Department lost a brother, and western New York lost a hero in the line 
of duty during a four-alarm fire on Main Street in the city of Buffalo.
  Jason Arno was a 3-year member of the Buffalo Fire Department serving 
at Engine 2, one of the busiest companies in the city.
  A son, a brother, a husband, a father, and a friend, Jason was 
committed to putting his life on the line each day for the community 
that he loved.
  As our city mourns this tragic loss, we are once again reminded of 
the bravery and the sacrifice it takes as a first responder.
  While Jason is laid to rest this Friday, our hearts are heavy. Our 
thoughts are with the Arno family, the

western New York community, and his brothers and sisters of Buffalo 
Professional Firefighters Local 282.
  The city of good neighbors and a grateful nation are forever indebted 
to firefighter Jason Arno for his selfless sacrifice.
