Mark Sanchez

We gratefully acknowledge the outstanding achievements that Mark Sanchez has made in the area of public service. While still attending Poway High, Mark served as a volunteer firefighter with the old Poway Municipal Water District and was hired as full-time firefighter after high school graduation. Mark has been the City of Poway's director of safety services/fire chief for over 24 years and was recently recognized by the city for his 40 years of service. Under his leadership, the city added a third fire station, a high-tech fire training tower and an aerial ladder truck.
