"Thank you very much to the two Chairs for holding this really important hearing."

"we have this obligation to protect communities, and especially to protect those firefighters."

"I just want to say what a great opportunity it's been for me to serve, and continue to serve for the next year or so, with Chairwoman Johnson."
