         HONORING PROSPECT HEIGHTS FIRE CHIEF DONALD GOULD, JR.

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT J. DOLD

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 12, 2016

  Mr. DOLD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the career and 
contributions of Prospect Heights Fire Chief Donald Gould, Jr.
  The Prospect Heights Fire Department made great strides under Chief 
Gould's leadership. When he took over as chief, there were no full-time 
firefighters in the district. The Prospect Heights district only 
consisted of volunteers and part-time staff. As of today, there are 15 
full-time firefighters and 35 part-time members.
  Chief Gould leaves Prospect Heights with an outstanding professional 
fire force that continually seeks to meet the community's public safety 
needs.
  Mr. Speaker, along with the citizens of Prospect Heights, it is an 
honor today to express our deepest appreciation to Fire Chief Donald 
Gould, Jr. for his 49 years of service with the Prospect Heights Fire 
Protection District.
