  Mr. LAMPSON. Madam Speaker, a golden anniversary is indeed a special 
milestone, and today I am proud to recognize the Webster Fire 
Department's 50th Anniversary. This exemplary and dedicated group of 
firefighters continues a proud, 50-year long tradition of excellence.
  As the first response team for the City of Webster, Texas, the 
Webster Fire Department exudes professionalism and dedication by all 
its firefighters in providing fire and emergency services for the 
community. The Webster Fire Department is responsible for fire 
prevention, fire suppression, and emergency medical services to the 
City of Webster. The Department

also offers such special services as a Smoke Detector Program, Fire 
Extinguisher Training, and Fire Safety Training. The Webster Fire 
Department operates three engines, one ladder, and one rescue from two 
fire stations. They also operate special units such as a Wild Land 
Firefighting Booster Truck, a High Water Rescue 6x6, and a Water Rescue 
Boat.
  Chief Jamie Galloway and his department will be celebrating the 
November anniversary all year long. In honor of the occasion, a special 
patch has been designed to be featured on the firefighter's uniforms 
and on all department vehicles.
  I am honored to represent the City of Webster and its outstanding 
Fire Department. Their hard work and commitment brings pride to their 
entire community. It is truly a privilege to stand here today in 
observation of the golden anniversary of the Webster Fire Department.
