It is with heavy hearts that IAFF Local 3880 mourns the passing of Brother Mark Hogan.
Mark’s career with our department began on February 10, 1986, and he became a full-time member on October 21, 1988. His last day as a career member was May 6, 1999, at which time he was honored by our department with Lifetime Membership. Mark later returned to serve as a volunteer in 2002 before concluding his service in 2003.
While the dates and titles tell part of the story, they don’t capture the impact Mark had on the people around him.
Mark was one of the founding members of IAFF Local 3880 and played an important role in establishing the foundation of our Local. He was a firefighter who believed strongly in passing knowledge on to the next generation. He mentored countless firefighters and was known for teaching with compassion, patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for the fire service.
Those fortunate enough to have worked alongside Mark know that his influence went far beyond the firehouse. He didn’t simply teach firefighters how to do the job—he invested in people. The lessons he shared, the standards he upheld, and the relationships he built continue through the firefighters he mentored.
Brother Hogan leaves behind a legacy of service, mentorship, friendship, and brotherhood that will not be forgotten.
From all of us at IAFF Local 3880, our deepest condolences go out to Mark’s family, friends, and everyone fortunate enough to have known him.
Rest easy, Brother Mark.
Your watch is complete.
