          THE EXETER FIRE DEPARTMENT AFTER 38 YEARS OF SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. FRANK C. GUINTA

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 26, 2016

  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, I would like to express my congratulations 
to Lt. Bob Irish on his retirement after 38 years with the Exeter Fire 
Department, and 36 years as a fire instructor at the NH Fire Academy.
  Lt. Irish's continuous progression within the Exeter Fire Department 
and the NH Fire Academy during his time exemplifies his intelligence, 
positive attitude, and commitment to protecting and serving his 
community with the utmost professionalism.
  Although Lt. Irish will now shift his focus from serving his 
community to spending more time with his five grandchildren, it's clear 
he leaves an example of strong leadership and compassion for others to 
emulate in his wake.
  It is with great admiration that I congratulate Lt. Irish on his 
retirement, and wish him the best on all future endeavors.

                          ____________________
