🚒 It’s been a busy week for the Morgantown Fire Department! 🚒

Our firefighters have had a full week responding to multiple calls for service and staying ready to serve our community whenever the need arises.

🚜 Farm Safety Education: We had the opportunity to take our grain bin rescue trailer out with Morgan County Emergency Management Agency to teach kids about farm safety. Educating the next generation about the dangers of farm equipment and grain bins is an important part of helping keep our community safe.

🚒 Training & Physical Fitness: Our firefighters have also been working hard on gear workouts and training to stay physically fit, build endurance, and maintain the skills needed to perform safely and effectively on the fireground.

💧 Apparatus Pump Testing: We also worked on pump testing our apparatus to ensure our equipment is operating properly and ready when the call comes in. Keeping our trucks and equipment in top condition is essential to providing effective emergency response.

🔥 Mutual Aid Response: We also responded to a shed fire alongside our mutual aid partners at Trafalgar Fire Department. We appreciate the teamwork and cooperation between departments when working together to help our neighboring communities.

Whether we’re responding to emergencies, training, or educating the public, our members remain committed to protecting and serving our community.

A big thank-you to all our firefighters and mutual aid partners for their continued dedication and hard work! 👨‍🚒🚒

🚨Residence Fire🚨

At 12:40 a.m. this morning the Morgantown Fire Department was toned out for a residential structure fire in the area of Highland St. and Mulberry St. EG161 was out the door in minutes and able to be on scene to get water on the fire quickly.

Engine 161 arrived on scene of a 2 story residential structure with smoke showing from the front of the house. Support 161 arrived shortly after assuming command and starting Trafalgar Fire in addition to the already coming automatic aid. EG161 was able to pull a hose line and start fire attack. Crews were able to keep the fire from spreading from the room of origin. Automatic and Mutual aid companies assisted with attack, search, and overhaul.

Thank you to our mutual and automatic aid departments for coming to help!!

It’s been a busy week for the Morgantown Fire Department, between taking calls for service, hose testing hose off the tanker, and VEIS training at the old Morgantown town hall. Huge thank you to Morgantown town council for allowing us to use the old town hall for Vent, Enter, Isolate, and Search training. With their help we were able to get some great training in with newer employees.
