         HONORING THE REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENTS OF NICOLE POSTAN

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, this Women's History Month, I rise to honor 
and celebrate the remarkable achievement of Nicole Postan.
  Firefighter Postan has made history as the first full-time female 
firefighter in the Margaretta Township Fire Department.
  A native of Brunswick, Ohio, Nicole's dedication and passion for 
serving her community have set an inspiring example for all of us. 
Nicole's journey in public service is a testament to her determination 
and commitment.
  As a certified firefighter and EMT, she has worked tirelessly to 
protect and serve the people of northwest Ohio. Now, as a full-time 
firefighter, she continues to exemplify what it means to be a true 
trailblazer.
  Beyond her technical skills, Nicole's compassionate approach to 
service is evident in her work with children, teaching fire safety in 
schools. She also is pursuing efforts in education as she trains to 
become a paramedic.
  Nicole's story will undoubtedly inspire future generations of young 
women in Erie County and beyond to pursue careers as a trailblazer and 
first responder.
  This Women's History Month, I am gratified to tell the story of a 
brave woman who has broken glass ceilings in our own community.
