                    HONORING FIRE CHIEF BRYAN TYNER

  (Ms. OMAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. OMAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Minneapolis Fire 
Chief Bryan Tyner for over 30 years of selfless, heroic, and dedicated 
service to our city.
  Serving as the second Black chief in the department's history, Fire 
Chief Tyner led Minneapolis Fire through some of the city's most 
significant public safety challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
  Throughout his tenure, he has worked tirelessly to advocate for the 
department's health and safety initiatives, improve operations, and 
promote inclusion within the ranks. At the end of this year, the chief 
will be transitioning into a new role, continuing his devoted service 
to our city as executive director of the Phyllis Wheatley Community 
Center.
  It has been an honor to work alongside such a dedicated public 
servant, and I am incredibly grateful for his work keeping our 
community safe.
