From the time he was first introduced to the fire service in high school, Marshall Moneymaker knew this was what he wanted to do with his life. However, the road to get there definitely was not easy.
Eventually he did manage to get hired by the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service, and made his way to station six in Bethesda...working in the high rise district of southern Montgomery County. It was there he got to drive and tiller Truck 706, a position he greatly enjoyed for many years.
Unfortunately an injury cut his career short, and what followed was a very difficult battle with the county over retirement benefits. Marshall's story is raw, real, and powerful, and he credits his wife and the memory of his shift mates with helping him get through some of the darker times.
Marshall is also known as "The Pink Fireman" for his involvement with For Three Sisters, an organization he helped to establish which aims to support people going through cancer. You can find more information about For Three Sisters at F3S.org
