Mark Palmer (EMT-P TDH #413) began his career in the field of Fire & EMS in 1977 by attending Florida State Fire College.
After completion he was hired as a Firefighter/EMT for the city of Rockledge, Florida. A trip to Houston inspired him to become a
Houston Firefighter in 1978. Although an on duty injury in 1996 eventually forced him to retire from the City of Houston Fire
Department, his passion for the Fire & Emergency Medical Service lead  him to seek a position at Westlake Fire Department as
chief During his 19year tenure as Fire Chief of the Westlake Fire Department he has always believed that it’s personnel are the
most valued asset his department has. He also believes in treating the citizens of the community as if they are family. He has
taught multiple Emergency Medical Technician classes and has the gift of making something difficult to understand seem
simple. After 34 years of experience in this great career, his passion for it continues to grow stronger each day.
