  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, I'm honored to recognize the Dauphin-Middle 
Paxton Fire Company on the auspicious occasion of its 100th Anniversary 
on August 10, 2024.
  Established in 1924, and originally the ``Dauphin Fire Company,'' the 
Dauphin-Middle Paxton Fire Company has served our communities 
tirelessly over the past century, around 60 square miles in Middle 
Paxton, and a population of over 5,000. The Company also generously 
provides assistance to Susquehanna Township, Lower Paxton Township, 
West Hanover Township, Duncannon, Marysville, and Halifax.
  Through federal grants, hosting myriad fundraisers (like Bingo, 
chicken BBQs, etc.) and generous donations from the community, Dauphin-
Middle Paxton Fire company has been able to modernize both its 
equipment and training to better serve its Citizens. Through the 
continued selfless service, dedication, and leadership of present Fire 
Chief Shane Swenson and distinguished Firefighters, the Company will 
continue to faithfully execute the critical task of safeguarding our 
Citizens and Communities.
  Mr. Speaker, I'm honored to recognize the Dauphin-Middle Paxton Fire 
Company on its 100th Anniversary, but more importantly, on their 
service and selflessness by which we all should be judged.
