“Mr. HURD of Colorado. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Randy Black of Durango, Colorado, for his outstanding commitment and contributions to the people of Durango. Chief Randy Black has devoted more than three decades to the safety and well-being of the Durango community. Beginning as a volunteer firefighter, he rose through the ranks to lead the department as Fire Chief of the Durango Fire Protection District. Under Chief Black's guidance, the department has prioritized community engagement, ensuring that fire and emergency services remain visible, responsive, and closely connected to the people of Durango. In recognition of his continued commitment to community well-being and addiction prevention, Chief Black was recently honored with the Mothers for Awareness and Prevention of Drug Abuse Leadership Award. On behalf of the Durango community, we extend our deepest thanks to Chief Randy Black for his compassionate work addressing addiction and overdose and for his commitment to protecting public health. His leadership has strengthened the safety and resilience of the community he so faithfully serves. ____________________”
