  Mr. LUTTRELL. Mr Speaker, I would like to recognize an outstanding 
District 8 citizen and local hero, Cy-Fair Fire Department Chief Amy 
Ramon. It is my privilege to stand before you and pay tribute to Chief 
Ramon, as she is now the first woman to receive the Texas Fire Chief of 
the Year award. Her dedication and commitment to excellence have truly 
set her apart in her field.
  Chief Ramon earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from 
LeTourneau University then her Juris Doctor degree from South Texas 
College of Law.
  She began as a volunteer firefighter at the age of 20 and was 
promoted through the ranks due to her commendable character. She 
assumed the role of Fire Chief in July 2014. Since then, Chief Ramon 
has worked diligently to steward her position with care. Her endless 
dedication and commitment to serving her community has left her with 
much to show from her service.
  Chief Ramon currently oversees 13 active fire stations that cover 164 
square miles. Last year, under her leadership, these stations responded 
to an astonishing 40,806 calls. Chief Ramon's guidance has been a key 
factor in the department's success over the past year. Her ability to 
lead such a large and active department is a testament to her 
exceptional skills and unwavering dedication.
  Chief Ramon continues to serve as Cy-Fair's Fire Chief after 34 
admirable years of success. She remains an active and important member 
of our community. I am proud of Chief Ramon for all she has 
accomplished and the exemplary citizen she continues to be in her 
community.
