                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 10, 2009

  Mr. HIGGINS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Sunset Bay 
Volunteer Fire Company No. 1, Inc. for its outstanding service to the 
Western New York Community. On July 18th, 2009 the Sunset Bay Volunteer 
Fire Company No. 1 will be celebrating its 60th anniversary.
  Located in the town of Hanover in Chautauqua County, the Sunset Bay 
Volunteer Fire Co. No. 1 was formed in 1949 and incorporated in 1950. 
Since then, this 100% volunteer fire company has grown to have 35 
active volunteer fire members. They are led by Fire Chief Robert 
``Rob'' Weiskerger and President Jack Fecio who have a long history of 
serving with Sunset Bay Volunteer Fire Company. Each year, the 
volunteers dedicate endless hours to promoting and protecting the 
safety of their friends and neighbors. I commend these firefighters for 
their selfless service and overwhelming commitment to the Town of 
Hanover and the Sunset Bay area in particular.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring the 
members, past and present, of the Sunset Bay Volunteer Fire Company, 
No. 1, Inc. The dedication of these community volunteers has ensured 
that the Town of Hanover will remain a safe and robust community. These 
brave men and women have ensured the objective of their fire company, 
``The protection of life and property from fire and the promotion of 
social intercourse among its members.''
