                               DEPARTMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. KEITH J. ROTHFUS

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, August 2, 2013

  Mr. ROTHFUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Nanty Glo 
Volunteer Fire Department on its one hundredth anniversary, and to 
thank our brave volunteers for their service.
  The Nanty Glo Volunteer Fire Department was founded on June 14, 1913 
in a garage with only a two-wheeled, hand-drawn cart. In the one 
hundred years since its founding, the fire department has grown to six 
vehicles and many more volunteers. These volunteers provide critical 
services to their community including fire prevention, fire 
suppression, and emergency rescue.
  Mr. Speaker, it is truly an honor to recognize the Nanty Glo 
Volunteer Fire Department on its one hundredth year of service. I join 
the residents of Nanty Glo, Pennsylvania in remembering the 
firefighters who have served with this fire department through the past 
century, and I extend my thanks, best wishes and congratulations to the 
brave men and women who continue to serve their community with pride, 
selflessness, and dedication.
