Hometown Hero of the Week: Jason Marsh, December 11th, 2024

Our QDR Hometown Hero of the week is Jason Marsh, a firefighter with the Apex Fire Department.

Jason was nominated by his mom, Susan, who says, “He is a full time Lt. firefighter with Apex fire department. He also works part time as a firefighter at Moncure fire department in Chatham County. Jason also works part time as a county home inspector for Durham County. Jason is a wonderful father, husband and son. He has a zeal for helping others and is just a great guy!” Jason has been in fire service for over 17 years!

Thank you, Jason, for your service! As a token of our appreciation, we’re sending you a $50 gift card to Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q and $50 from First Horizon Bank to thank you for all you do.
