“This weekend the Newburg Volunteer Fire Department celebrated 100 years of service in Blair County, Pennsylvania. We owe a debt of gratitude to the selfless volunteers who have dedicated their time and resources to protecting our community. Their willingness to leave home at the sound of a bell and rush toward those in need shows an incredible commitment to the residents of Blair County. For decades, the fire station has been more than a place to house trucks or to conduct training. It has been a place for the community to gather and to come together to celebrate special occasions. Under the leadership of Chief Mike Zeigler, the Newburg Volunteer Fire Department has strived to reach a standard of excellence. Further, the department has worked tirelessly to recruit multiple new members, training students who will continue to work and serve in Blair County. As these firefighters continue their education, it is essential that Congress provides our volunteer departments with the tools and the training that they so desperately need. On behalf of the entire 13th Congressional District, I congratulate the Newburg Volunteer Fire Department on reaching this milestone, and I thank them for their continued service. ____________________”
