MORTON, Ill. – The word “interim” has been dropped from the title of Morton’s fire chief.
Justin Hale was officially sworn-in as the village’s chief at Monday night’s meeting.
Hale had been serving as the interim chief since August 29th when Kaufman relieved former chief Joe Kelley of his role after 25 years as chief.
Kaufman says Kelley was relieved for Village Code violations, which included living outside of Morton and not using a village-issued vehicle.
