  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Boulder City Fire 
Chief Dean Molburg and congratulate him upon his retirement. Chief 
Molburg dutifully served the city of Boulder City as a dedicated member 
and leader of the department for almost 17 years.
  Chief Molburg and his wife of 31 years, Elizabeth have been residents 
of Boulder City for 25 years since moving to Nevada in 1982 from 
Illinois. Chief Molburg has been a member of the Boulder City Fire 
Department since 1985. Prior to his appointment as Fire Chief, he 
served as Deputy Fire Chief and Emergency Management Coordinator for 
the City of Boulder City. He earned a degree in Fire Service Management 
and is a graduate of the National Fire Academy's Executive Fire Officer 
Program.
  During his tenure as Fire Chief, the department achieved numerous 
accomplishments and accolades under his direction and leadership. The 
increase in the level of emergency medical care with the implementation 
of a Paramedic Program is one of his most significant accomplishments. 
Chief Molburg also oversaw two building additions to the existing fire 
station, the purchase of 2 new fire engines, new ambulances and rescue 
units. Under the leadership of Chief Molburg, the Boulder City Fire 
Department achieved an ISO 2 rating, one of the few ISO 2 rated 
departments in the country.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Chief Molburg for his dedication 
and service to the City of Boulder City. He has served the citizens of 
Boulder City for so many years with dedication, vision, and valor. I am 
proud of his accomplishments with the Boulder City Fire Department and 
thank him for his service to his community. I wish him all the best in 
his future endeavors.
