When The Smoke Clears
What happens to a firefighter after they've spent decades running into burning buildings and rescuing people from sickness, injury and death? When they walk away from the job, how have they changed? What lessons have they learned? What type of person have they become?
When The Smoke Clears
#15 - Captain Marc Worton
Retired Captain Marc Worton was destined to be in the fire service. Having two parents deeply involved in volunteer fire departments, he was practically born into it. Marc shares his story of becoming a volunteer firefighter as a teenager, eventually getting hired as a full-time career firefighter in Montgomery County, and having a robust career that took him from the fields of Sandy Spring to the high-rises of Bethesda. He answered calls at the 911 center, joined the county's technical rescue team, and so much more.
In retirement, Marc helped to found the Montgomery County Career Firefighters Charitable Foundation, which serves to help firefighters when they have needs that are not immediately job-related. He currently serves as president of the foundation.
Marc can be reached at 240-281-7241. Call or text.
