Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the Resort Bear Creek Fire Department for 75 years of continued service to the residents of Petoskey and for their upcoming celebratory event being held on August 17, 2023. Resort Bear Creek Fire Department has been a staple of the community for decades and has become the standard in fire prevention and mediation for Petoskey residents throughout their history. Their desire to educate others on safe practices pertaining to fire management and control has had a direct hand in the prevention of countless tragedies within their constituency. I am heartened by the department's impact on local residents and am confident that their exemplary leadership will continue for years to come.

Fire departments across Northern Michigan have the immense task of keeping a vast wooded area safe from the possibility of fire. The residents, their homes, and local businesses rely on professionally run and operated departments like Resort Bear Creek to ensure that their investments and livelihoods remain protected. Their work has been a blessing to all within their service area and I cannot thank them enough for their efforts over these past 75 years.

Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the 75th Anniversary of the Resort Bear Creek Fire Department in Petoskey, Michigan and their celebratory event being held on August 17, 2023. On behalf of Michigan's First District, I wish everyone involved in the Resort Bear Creek Fire Department's history of success the best in their future endeavors and a successful celebratory ceremony.
