“I want to say thank you to volunteer firefighters. They fought a fire. Some lost their homes. They kept fighting the fire to protect other people's homes. They have good character. They care about their community.”

Official Congressional Record

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the volunteer firefighters of Beulah, Colorado, for their extraordinary service during the Aspen Acres fire in Pueblo County. When shifting winds drove the fire toward the town of Beulah, the town's 22-member volunteer fire department stood between the flames and their community. Several firefighters lost their own homes during this fire. Even so, they remained on the line, working to protect their neighbors and the town they call home. That choice says more about their character than any words I could offer today. It reflects courage, duty, and the deeply rooted sense of community that defines Beulah and so much of Colorado's Third District. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize the Beulah Volunteer Fire Department and to thank every firefighter who chose service to others over personal loss.
