Firefighter Marc Tureo Retirement

On August 6, 2001, Marc Tureo, Badge #25, began his career with the Morris Township Fire Department.

Today, May 20, 2026, at 1700 hours, Firefighter Tureo works his final shift and goes off duty for the last time after 25 years of dedicated service to the residents of Morris Township.

Marc worked his final tour assigned as the chauffeur of Engine 1 on Tour 1, proudly serving the township and his fellow firefighters until the very end of his career.

We thank FF Tureo for his commitment, professionalism, and years of dedicated service, and we wish him a long, healthy, and well-deserved retirement.

Congratulations, Marc!
