On Friday July 31, 2020 Monroe Township Fire-Rescue received a call for one of our own brothers. Capt Joseph M. Liedel had suffered a stroke while responding to a medical call.

On August 23 2020 Capt Liedel passed away from the stroke he had.

Monroe Township Fire-Rescue takes this day every year to remember the sacrifices that Capt Liedel was willing to make. We miss his leadership around the station, his dedication to his community, but most of all the brotherhood we all had with him.

Please take a moment to remember Capt Liedel today as well as his family and all who called him a friend and brother.
