He later joined the volunteer fire department in Lewis and was hired in the Iowa Fire Marshal’s Office in 1975. After 25 years of sniffing out fires, Marshall says he’s worked on many hundreds of investigations.The 59-year-old Cass County native plans to travel and perhaps do consulting work after some time off. Assistant Fire Marshal George Howe will be named acting Fire Marshal on Saturday.
