Michael Toris – 40
I grew up in the fire service in New Jersey and started responding as an explorer when I was 15 years old. I moved to Mobile in 2008 for my career and started my second fire service time in 2010. I came to Theodore in February 2024 because of the firefighter culture. I wanted to serve in a place where firefighters are allowed to be firefighters. Theodore allows me to raise my personal level of training and certifications which then helps the citizens of Theodore.
Fun Fact: My car seat was in the Fire Chief’s car when my father was Chief in NJ.
