Carmen Persico 

Why did you join the MRFC? I grew up across the street constantly watching the trucks and drill night. Then my cousin joined and talked me into it. 

Years of Service: 20

Background in fire: National FF1, NIMS, PUMP OPS 1&2

What is your life like outside the firehouse? Busy to say the least. I have a full-time job as a mobile refrigeration mechanic, a beautiful wife, and two beautiful kids 2 & 5. I also own and operate my own catering business, Captain Mike's Catering.

Fun fact about you: I have been blessed with the lovely nickname “Panda”.
