  Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Willow 
Street Fire Company in Willow Street, Pennsylvania on 100 years of 
service to the community.
  The Willow Street Fire Company was founded in June 1924 by volunteers 
that recognized the need to provide fire and emergency services to 
their community. Today, the company's 40-person membership remains 100 
percent volunteer-based, a reflection of their dedication to the well-
being of the community.
  You never know when you might need emergency services, but you are 
always thankful they are there when you need them. These heroes risk 
their lives in dangerous situations for people they likely do not know. 
This kind of selflessness is beyond admirable.
  Willow Street Fire Company responds to almost 500 calls every year 
and services West Lampeter Township and Providence Township. They also 
provide mutual aid to surrounding townships.
  For 100 years, Willow Street Fire Company emergency and rescue 
service volunteers have demonstrated what it means to be a good 
neighbor. I thank them for the heroism and bravery they demonstrate 
daily.
  Congratulations to Willow Street Fire Company. I wish them a happy 
100th anniversary.
