Morrisville Fire Protection District
Frequently Asked QuestionS
Do you fill swimming pools?
Unfortunately, this is not a service we can offer at this time. We have a high demand for this service, however our water tenders are not considered clean water. We recommend local farms that may have milk haulers or other clean tanks to haul water. If this is a service you are capable of providing, please let us know, and we will list your business below.
Do you have volunteers who don’t run calls?
Absolutely! There is a lot of behind-the-scenes work to running a fire department, and if you have a skill that can benefit us or are just willing to do some work, we can use your help. These are our auxiliary, and are not subject to the same training requirements as responders. They may do mechanical work, office work, general cleaning and maintenance, or put up the blue signs! Maybe there’s something we haven’t even thought of that you can provide to make our department and our lives better?
Why do I see Morrisville FPD trucks outside the service area? or Why are other departments’ trucks responding inside the Morrisville area?
All fire departments work on the principle of Mutual Aid. This simply means that we help other fire departments that border our district, and sometimes, for major events, we will even travel beyond that to help another department. When a call comes in to 911, the dispatchers follow protocol and will dispatch as many departments and resources as are necessary to handle the event. As a volunteer district, this commonly means that other departments will help us, and also that we will help other departments.
