I rise to recognize Jim Meek for 50 years of dedicated service as a volunteer with the Blue Ridge Fire and Rescue Company in Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania. Over the years, Chief Meek has served the fire department in multiple active service and administrative roles, including fire chief for 25 years. Chief Meek has been praised as a significant role model and mentor for the department's first responders. His 50-year commitment to public safety and the protection of property is an inspiration to constituents throughout the 13th Congressional District. For his bravery and selfless service, I express gratitude to Chief Meek for his enduring commitment to protecting communities, and I extend my best wishes to him in all future endeavors.
