The Professional Firefighters and Professional Fire Officers of Morristown, FMBA Local’s 43 and 243 PROUDLY endorse Donald Cresitello for the Office of Mayor, of the Town of Morristown.

 

  •     Councilman Cresitello opposes stacking (overcrowding) which creates dangerous conditions for residents and their neighbors. It places firefighters at greater risk having to extend searches looking for greater numbers of occupants in buildings.

 

  •     Councilman Cresitello supports responsible development and an increase in the Town’s ratable base. New and updated buildings will improve the safety of both residents and firefighters.

 

  •     Councilman Cresitello has historically been an advocate of safe Fire Department staffing levels. Other administrations have wanted to lay off firefighters and demote fire officers. He has continually opposed those actions. 

 

  •      Councilman Cresitello has pledged his support to replace or upgrade the substandard, outdated fire station on Speedwell Avenue.

 

  •     Councilman Cresitello as councilman he has voted to accept of over $750,000 in federal fire service grant money to improve the safety of our members and the equipment we use.

 

  •     Councilman Cresitello has championed the fight for strong code enforcement within The Town of Morristown. A fight that positively impacts public safety, and reduces the associated risks to our members.

 

  •     Councilman Cresitello supports and promotes a vibrant and safe town for all of us to live, work, shop and worship in.
