Fire District Information
The Mt. Morris Fire Department formed on July 7th, 1889 to serve the Village of Mt. Morris. In 1953 the Department, along with the 45 sq. miles surrounding it, were reorganized into the Mt. Morris Fire Protection District.
We have proudly and vigilantly served our community now for 133 years. We respond to nearly 1,000 emergency calls for service annually. Approximately 150 are Fire/Rescue calls and 850 are emergency medical calls.
This is all accomplished by a career Fire Chief, 6 career EMT/Paramedics, with the assistance of 20 highly dedicated volunteers. We are constantly evaluating our training, apparatus and techniques to provide the best service possible to the district.
We have had many milestones over the years. Ambulance service was added in 1955, certified EMT’s in 1972 an, Paramedics in 1991. In 2000, due to a drastic increase in medical calls, the District staffed the firehouse 24 hrs. a day, 7 days a week with onsite Paramedics.
