New fire chief hired in Perry Township

By Kathy Antoniotti
Beacon Journal staff writer

Mark L. Martin of Cuyahoga Falls was hired as fire chief by the Perry Township trustees Tuesday night.

Martin, a retired division chief with the Stow Fire Department, will replace former Fire Chief Gary Justice, who retired in April.

Martin will take over the department's 13 full-time and 60 volunteer fire and emergency medical personnel August 11.

He served in Stow from 1999 to 2006. He is an adjunct professor at State Stark College in Jackson Township, where he has taught for 20 years.

The township hired Martin from a field of 26 applicants. He was chosen from a final group of three candidates that also included Copley Fire Lt. Bruce Koellner and retired Mason Fire Chief Richard Fletcher from the Cincinnati area.

He will be paid $52,000 per year as chief.

Martin holds undergraduate degrees from Stark State College and Malone College and a master's degree in public administration from the University of Akron.

Martin has 600 hours of training at the National Fire Academy in areas of emergency management, operations, disasters and community risk reduction.
