CONGRATULATING OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF EMSWORTH BOROUGH VOLUNTEER FIRE 
                               DEPARTMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MELISSA A. HART

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 1, 2005

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate the officers and members of the Emsworth Borough Volunteer 
Fire Department on the occasion of the Department's 100th Anniversary. 
The members of the Fire Department have unselfishly served the citizens 
of Emsworth for the greater part of the past century and now look 
forward to continuing their brave service in the 21st century.
  The community of Emsworth cites the Volunteer Fire Department as ``an 
organization that has become the backbone of the community.'' From its 
inception in 1905, the department has served as a valuable resource to 
the community. In 1995, the department expanded into providing service 
for Glenfield Borough, proving that its commitment to service includes 
not only its citizens, but its local neighbors as well.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in honoring the Volunteer Fire Department of Emsworth. It is an 
honor to represent the Fourth Congressional District of Pennsylvania 
and a pleasure to salute citizens such as the Emsworth Volunteer 
Firefighters who truly embody the spirit of public service and the 
meaning of bravery.
