Funeral services scheduled for late Glendale firefighter Mark Fowl

PHOENIX — Funeral services for late veteran Glendale firefighter Mark Fowl will be held on Tuesday at Desert Diamond Arena — formerly named Gila Rivera Arena — in the Westgate Entertainment District.

Fowl, who began his career with the Glendale Fire Department in 2002, died on Monday after a yearlong battle with brain cancer.

He finished his career working the C shift on Engine 156 as his most recent assignment.

Fowl is survived by his wife and two children.

The services will begin at 11 a.m. and his family is not expected to speak unless there is a change of plans, Glendale announced in a press release.
