  Mr. SORENSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Moline 
Fire Department in Moline, Illinois who received the First Responder 
Agency of the Year Award from Black Hawk College.
  The Moline Fire Department works incredibly hard to ensure the safety 
and well-being of the community in which they serve. They are so loved 
by the city of Moline that they received more nominations than any of 
the other first responder agencies in the area. The ``First Responder 
Agency of the Year'' award acknowledges the dedication and 
extraordinary contributions of the Moline Fire Department to the 
community. I am proud to call Moline my home and I am incredibly 
grateful to have First Responders like these on call when you need them 
most.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Moline Fire Department 
formally on the honor of receiving the First Responder Agency of the 
Year Award. I join the rest of the community in thanking the Moline 
Fire Department for their commitment to serving and protecting the 
residents of Moline, Illinois.
