                        Tuesday, April 21, 2009

  Mr. BROWN of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate one my constituents in South Carolina, Assistant Chief 
Gregory A. Bulanow of the North Charleston Fire Department, for 
successfully completing the Executive Fire Officer Program, or EFOP, on 
February 27th of this year.
  The EFOP is an intensive program designed to give senior fire 
officers a broad perspective on various aspects of fire administration 
by providing them with knowledge that they can to apply during 
emergency situations that occur in their own communities.
  It is no small feat to complete such a program, as it is made up of 
four extensive courses, stretching over a span of years.
  As an ardent supporter of all of our nation's fire fighters and 
emergency personnel, I speak for the people of Charleston and the 
surrounding areas in saying that we are lucky to have well trained and 
skilled individuals like Assistant Chief Bulanow looking out for us 
every day.
  I commend Assistant Chief Bulanow on his achievements and thank him 
for his devotion to the protection of the people of South Carolina.
