Meet Firefighter/EMT Mark Lemminger

Where are you stationed? 

Fire Station 4 (Monroe Street) on the 'B' shift.

Why did you want to pursue this career?

I have a couple friends on the department that I look up to and I wanted to follow in their footsteps.

What was your career prior to MFD?

I was a professional MMA fighter for the organization Bellator. 

What do you do when you're not working at MFD? 

I co-own and coach at a mixed martial arts (MMA) gym. I also have a small collection of classic cars and motorcycles I work on and enjoy, but most my time outside of work is spent being a dad for my 10-month-old daughter.
