Twenty-five years of service to any organization is a monumental accomplishment. Thus, that service warrants recognition.

On 1 December 2022, Firefighter Mark Harris crossed a significant milestone. Mark has spent a quarter century faithfully serving the citizens of Palm Harbor. In 1988, Mark started his career in public service in Guilford County, North Carolina. Mark moved to Florida and joined Palm Harbor Fire Rescue in December 1997.

During Marks's tenure, he served with Pinellas County SWAT and is a current member of the Pinellas County Hazmat Team, a driver operator, and a Fire Boat operator. Mark is the senior blue-shirt firefighter that I have had the pleasure of working with not only as his supervisor but also as a colleague. Thank you, Mark for twenty-five years of dedicated service to PHFR and the citizens of Palm Harbor.
