                      Wednesday, December 6, 2017

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, we are fortunate in New York's 16th 
Congressional District to have some of the finest first-responders 
anywhere in the country. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the 
Village of Mamaroneck, where the Village Volunteer Fire Department has 
provided its citizens with courageous fire protection for 129 years.
  The Village of Mamaroneck Volunteer Fire department is comprised of a 
highly skilled dedicated team committed to providing the highest level 
of safety, protection of life, property and the environment to those 
who live, work or play in our community. The five fire companies that 
comprise the department: Hook & Ladder Co., No. 1, Mamaro Engine & Hose 
Co. No. 1, Columbia Engine & Hose Co. No. 2, Volunteers Engine & Hose 
Co. No. 3, and Halstead Manor Engine & Hose Co. No. 4 operate out of 
four fire stations with over 200 volunteers. The Mamaroneck Fire 
Department operates with five Engines, two Aerial Trucks, two Utility 
Trucks, three Chiefs Vehicles, and one Fire Boat and responds to 
approximately 800 fire emergencies a year.
  The Mamaroneck Fire Department has always done an outstanding job 
keeping its citizens safe, and as a result The New Jewish Home, Sarah 
Neuman is honoring the department at their 25th Anniversary 
celebration. They have chosen to acknowledge an incredible partner in 
the community. I too would like to congratulate the Village of 
Mamaroneck Fire Department Day in recognition of the significant impact 
they have made and continue to make in the community, and as a partner 
with The New Jewish Home, Sarah Neuman in serving the elders of our 
community.
