From the time he was a six-year-old boy hearing the fire house sirens sound near his home in Montgomery Village, MD, David Steckel knew he wanted to be a firefighter. When he was finally old enough to join the fire cadet program in high school, his love for the fire service was confirmed and there was no looking back.
After he was hired as a career firefighter in Montgomery County, Maryland, Dave quickly rose through the ranks, becoming one of the youngest officers the department had at the time. After eventually promoting to Battalion Chief, he took an administrative position where he put his skills as a lawyer (!) to work. He continued to rise through the ranks, serving the men and women working in the field from behind the scenes, doing a lot of important administrative and policy work.
