Today, the Cincinnati Fire Department has lost yet another legacy. Our thoughtful condolences go out to Lt. Mark Marshall's family and friends as they begin to feel the void of his vibrant spirit. CFD's tenured and retired members have fond memories of Lt. Marshall working at stations 12, 19, and 32 to name a few. But over 600 of Cincinnati Fire Department's current members know him from his time within the Training Bureau. Lt. Marshall's hard exterior commanded the attention of recruits (and shared a few choice words with them frequently), but most would come to know him as a the type of guy that you could laugh with while sharing good times for hours. Lt. Marshall believed in real fire training, and he remained committed to holding recruits to a high standard through his many years in Training. For that, this department is forever indebted.
Lt, may the bearcats always win in heaven and may your presence always be felt within the drill yard walls. Rest easy brother, we'll take it from here.
