RECOGNIZING THE RETIREMENT OF COLORADO SPRINGS FIRE MARSHAL BRETT LACEY

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 56 (Thursday, March 27, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 56 (Thursday, March 27, 2025)] [House] [Pages H1318-H1319] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING THE RETIREMENT OF COLORADO SPRINGS FIRE MARSHAL BRETT LACEY (Mr. CRANK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. CRANK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the retirement of Colorado Springs Fire Marshal Brett Lacey. Marshal Lacey joined Colorado Springs Fire Department in 1992, and he has faithfully served our community [[Page H1319]] for 32 years. Marshal Lacey was instrumental in helping protect our community through his leadership in prioritizing structure and vegetation management, as he established a nationally renowned wildfire mitigation program. Marshal Lacey was onsite and led the efforts to combat the Waldo Canyon fire and saved my own home and thousands of others in the Black Forest fire that devastated our community, in addition to helping recover victims of Hurricane Katrina. Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating and thanking Fire Marshal Brett Lacey for his service to our country and to the Pikes Peak region. ____________________
