Assistant Chief Michael Clemens dedicated more than 40 years of service to the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service.  Starting out as a teenage volunteer with the Silver Spring Volunteer Fire Department, and eventually getting hired by that corporation, Mike served the majority of his career in the Silver Spring area, before promoting to chief and eventually becoming the training chief at the Public Safety Training Academy.

Chief Clemens was in charge of designing and building Montgomery County's current training academy...and even though he has been retired now for several years, he still continues to fight to get more buildings added to the academy grounds.
