                HONORING THE SERVICE OF CHIEF DELL URBAN

  (Mr. DOLD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DOLD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Dell Urban, the chief 
of the North Chicago Fire Department, who is retiring after spending 
more than 25 years on the force. Ms. Urban is the first female fire 
chief in Lake County, and one of only two female fire chiefs in the 
State of Illinois.
  As fire chief, Ms. Urban was responsible for saving countless lives 
and did her duty protecting the community of North Chicago. We should 
all aspire to be as brave as the firemen who lay down their lives each 
and every day to ensure our safety.
  In addition to performing her duties, Ms. Urban has been a mentor and 
a friend to many firefighters throughout her time as chief, and she is 
leaving the station far better off than before she was chief.
  I want to thank Ms. Urban for her service and wish her all the best 
in her future endeavors.
