Monroe, MI – Monroe Township firefighters this week joined state Representative Will Bruck, to testify before the House Transportation, Mobility and Infrastructure Committee in support of Bruck’s bill to recognize fallen Monroe Township Fire Captain Joseph Liedel.
On July 31, 2020, Liedel collapsed on the way to his vehicle as he was responding to a call. It was later determined that he had suffered a life-threatening brain bleed. Liedel was unable to recover from the incident and passed away on August 24th, 2020.
Bruck’s measure, House Bill 4845, would rename the stretch of highway where Liedel’s former fire station is located as the ‘Captain Joseph M. Liedel Memorial Highway.’
The stretch would run along M-125, also known as South Dixie Highway, from the intersection with East Dunbar Road and continue south to the intersection with East Albain Road.
