HONORING THE LIFE OF PINE BLUFF FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES, ENGINEER
CORY COLLINS
______
HON. BRUCE WESTERMAN
of arkansas
in the house of representatives
Monday, September 27, 2021
Mr. WESTERMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life of Cory P. Collins, a Fire and Emergency Services Engineer at Pine Bluff Fire Station No. 6 in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Engineer Collins passed away on August 21, 2021, after a battle with COVID-19.
Cory was a 9-year veteran of Pine Bluff Fire and Emergency Services where he served his community honorably alongside fellow emergency responders who were like brothers to him. He excelled as a firefighter and was promoted to engineer in May 2018. Engineer Collins was a ``jack of all trades,'' and in his free time, he enjoyed working on numerous projects, spending time with his family, and escaping to the outdoors. He will be greatly missed by his family, his brothers and sisters at Pine Bluff Fire and Emergency Services, and by his community.
I take this time today to honor Engineer Collins' exceptional service to our Pine Bluff community. His steadfast approach and dedication to his neighbors during the current public health crises will be forever cherished. With a heavy heart, I thank Engineer Collins and his family for their unwavering dedication to the city of Pine Bluff and surrounding area.
