                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MARCUS J. MOLINARO

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 8, 2023

  Mr. MOLINARO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 150th 
anniversary of the founding of the Homer Fire Department in Cortland 
County, New York.
  The Homer Fire Department was established on April 10, 1873 as part 
of the Village of Homer. Since then, the all-volunteer department has 
worked tirelessly to protect the citizens of Homer and has served as a 
backbone of their community.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues in the House join me in 
recognizing the Homer Fire Department on their 150th anniversary. It is 
my sincere privilege to honor all the volunteer firefighters who have 
kept Homer safe since 1873 and continue to do so today.
