State ‘Fire Marshal of the Year’ hails from Marysville.
A state organization of his peers awarded Marysville Fire District Fire Marshal Tom Maloney as its Fire Marshal of the Year for 2020.
The Washington State Association of Fire Marshals (WSAFM) bestowed the honor on Maloney, who is vice president of the group. State Fire Marshal Charles LeBlanc said the award is given to those who stand out among a highly qualified group.
“Having worked with Tom on many occasions, he is passionate in his calling and strives every day to better the lives of those around him through fire prevention and community risk reduction efforts,” LeBlanc said. “He represents the very best in what Fire Marshals do, and he does so with strong leadership, humility, and professionalism.”
As Marysville’s fire marshal since 2008, Maloney handles business inspections, plan reviews and public education. He said he was speechless and humbled by the award.
