Now, after 23 years of service in the township, he is known on an international level for his skills in instructor development and evidence-based fireground tactics.
He has served as a lead instructor for various fire department programs delivered nationally. In addition to training the entire Northville Township Fire Department on a daily basis, he is a senior education and training coordinator for the Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI), a part of UL Research Institutes, joining the team in 2023. He currently serves on the ISFSI Board of Directors.
\u201cHis (Marcotte) passion for excellence and tireless efforts in advancing Northville Township Fire Department\u2019s capabilities have earned the respect of colleagues, community members and the fire service at large,\u201d said Northville Township Fire chief Brett Chief Siegel. \u201cI\u2019m grateful for such a talent to help lead our department.\u201d
\u201cCongratulations to Tom Hughes on his appointment as State Fire Marshal,\u201d said Marcotte said. \u201cHe is an incredible fire service professional and one of my closest friends. I will do my best to continue his legacy and am deeply honored to serve the men and women of this department. Northville Township\u2019s unwavering commitment to exceptional fire and EMS services was one of the biggest reasons my family chose to make this community our home.\u201d
Township Supervisor Mark Abbo said Marcotte\u2019s promotion comes at an opportune time for the community. The Northville Township Fire Department opening of Fire Station No. 2 at the Essential Services Complex, 40911 Seven Mile Road, was scheduled this week.
