  Mrs. McCLAIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the brave 
firefighters from across St. Clair County.
  On Sunday, a dangerous fire broke out at an industrial warehouse in 
Port Huron. Local Fire Departments rushed to the scene and were met 
with an incredibly complex and nasty fire deep within the metal 
warehouse.
  But this fire wasn't fought alone, as there was a community-wide 
response from local departments to assist in extinguishing this fire. 
Firefighters from Port Huron were joined by those from Fort Gratiot, 
Kimball Township, Marysville, St. Clair, and St. Clair County Homeland 
Security. When one firefighter had given his all, the next man stepped 
up and continued the effort to fight this fire.
  Thanks to the quick and decisive actions of our local fire 
departments, this dangerous fire was successfully extinguished without 
any casualties after a multi-day battle.
  Michigan's 9th District is incredibly thankful for the cohesive 
effort by local fire departments to fight this fire and protect our 
community.
