It's Firefighter Friday - Meet Marc Harris!




Firefighter Friday! Have a great weekend!

1. * What’s your name and position? Marc Harris, Firefighter

2. *How long have you been with LFD and in what capacity? Four years, volunteer 

3. *What made you want to be a firefighter? Serving the public is a great way to keep me off the streets at night!

4. *What’s the best thing about being a firefighter at LFD? Top notch training and excellent support as you work towards higher levels of credentials.

5. What’s the funniest thing that has happened at your job? Saving a pet goldfish from a structure fire and then helping the Battalion Chief change the water out so it would live.

6. What’s your favorite food? Knoepfli and goulash.

7. What are your hobbies? Too many to list: Running, home brewing, kayaking, fishing, hiking, camping, juggling, grilling/smoking, stunt kite flying, scuba diving, etc... You name it, I've probably at least tried it.

8. What’s something about you citizens might find unusual or interesting? At one point in my life I was a very competitive video game player and was nationally ranked in the game Counter Strike. Then I decided that my daughter might like to eat on a regular basis, so I stopped playing so many games.

9. If you could recommend one place for people to go on vacation where would it be and why? Anywhere out in the middle of a mountain range. It's good for the soul to unplug once in a while.

10. Who is your role model and why? Benjamin Franklin. We've both worked in the postal industry, the printing industry and the firefighting industry. He's also a great American!

Thanks Marc!
