Mark Thibideau
Fire Prevention Technician
Other Forest Service
Mark Thibideau is a Fire Prevention Technician on the Shasta-Trinity National Forest in Northern California. I actively patrol the forests and communicate with communities, including local elementary, middle, high schools, and college students to spread the message of Smokey Bear minimizing the number of unplanned human caused wildfires. I also respond to wildfires to investigate the cause, be a public information officer, or be the incident commander. I have been awarded a bronze Smokey Bear award for outstanding effort in fire prevention and know that by working together we can make a difference in reducing unnecessary loss.
