Manheim Township Fire Rescue

Manheim Township Fire Rescue is proud to recognize Firefighter Stephen Martin as this month’s Behind the Badge honoree, honoring his exceptional commitment, service, and dedication to protecting our community.

When did you join MTFR?
I joined MT Fire Rescue in January 2026.

One goal you’ve reached so far at MTFR?
I have started the driver's training process, with the goal of becoming a qualified driver/operator for both the engine and tanker this year.

What advice would you give to someone interested in joining MTFR?
When you join a fire department, you are joining a team, so my advice to anyone interested in joining MTFR is to focus on being a good teammate. Work hard alongside the men and women in the department to get the job done, do your best in every area from cleanup to trainings, to responding to incidents, and you will discover the camaraderie and satisfaction that makes this the best job in the world.

What’s something you’d like to share with the community?
When I'm not at work, I spend my time either with my beautiful wife and 3-year-old son or working on cars with my dad at his shop.

We’re deeply grateful to Eden Resort & Suites for their continued partnership in recognizing the outstanding members of MTFR. Their generosity allows us to honor the dedication, professionalism, and service of our first responders each and every month.

Happy to help!
