                 HONORING FALLEN FIREFIGHTERS IN IDAHO

  (Mr. FULCHER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FULCHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the life, service, and 
sacrifice of two of Idaho's bravest we have lost way too soon during an 
appalling ambush attack in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
  On Sunday, June 29, 2025, Battalion Chiefs Frank Harwood and John 
Morrison answered the call, as always, to reports of a fire on Canfield 
Mountain.
  Upon arriving at the scene, they were cruelly ambushed by gunfire 
from a disturbed, cowardly individual.
  As a result of shots fired, Chiefs Harwood and Morrison tragically 
succumbed to their injuries, and their colleague, David Tysdal, an 
engineer with the Coeur d'Alene Fire Department, was severely wounded, 
but thankfully is now recovering.
  This evil act against our firefighters does not represent the Idaho 
way. I ask all Idahoans and Americans to pray for full recovery for Mr. 
Tysdal and for comfort for all families involved. These men represent 
the very best of Idaho. Their courage, heroism, and dedication will 
never be forgotten.
