Thompson Fire Chief Mark Marcum honored for 25 years of service

Mark Marcum was honored for his 25 years of service to the Thompson Springs Fire Department by the Moab Valley Fire Department on March 5, 2025. Marcum served as fire chief for 13 years, until the dissolution of the Thompson Springs Special Service Fire District by the Grand County Commission on March 4. Despite the merger of the two agencies, Mark Marcum will “continue to serve in his role as the two agencies merge,” a statement from the MVFD reads.

“For over 25 years, Chief Marcum has demonstrated unwavering commitment and dedication, making a positive impact on the lives of countless citizens,” commented MVFD Chief TJ Brewer. “He has earned our deepest respect and admiration.”
