Marcantel has established upcoming goals for his firefighter career and they include achieving his Instructor and Officer 1 Certification so that he may serve as an officer on the department. He already serves as a mentor to new volunteers and is always willing to answer questions or teach new volunteers the tactics to achieve any assignment they may have.
Why does Marcantel volunteer with Ward 6? “I enjoy serving the community. It is a one of a kind job. Always training to better yourself and your team around you. You get to do things that not everyone has a chance to do.”
