I rise today to recognize Orange County Fire Authority Chief Brian Fennessy, who, after 8 years as chief, will be retiring. While at Orange County Fire Authority, Chief Fennessy led the department through the COVID-19 pandemic and through the Bond, Silverado, and Blue Ridge fires. He was named by the Orange County Register as one of the most influential individuals in Orange County in 2020. After his retirement, Chief Fennessy will now assume the director role in the newly created U.S. Wildland Fire Service. Mr. Speaker, I thank Chief Fennessy for his commitment to keeping Orange County safe. He will be missed. I congratulate him on his retirement.
