🚨 Big Update from Morning Sun Fire 🚨

We’re proud to announce that we have officially completed our transition to Morning Sun Fire & Rescue!
So what does this mean for our community?
Previously, our department responded to EMS (medical) calls primarily when requested by the ambulance for lift assistance. Now, with this transition, our response has been significantly enhanced. Moving forward, our team will be paged at the same time as the ambulance on medical calls, allowing us to arrive sooner and begin assisting right away.
In addition, we now have a fully equipped EMS response vehicle ready with the necessary medical equipment to provide care alongside ambulance crews.
This upgrade also improves coverage for our community. If our primary ambulance is already out on another call, our Fire/EMS vehicle can respond immediately to begin patient care and provide support until another ambulance becomes available.
This transition strengthens our ability to serve you with faster response times, improved care, and greater reliability when you need us most.
As always, we’re committed to protecting and serving the Morning Sun community.

Tonight members of the Morning Sun Ambulance and Morning Sun Fire Department trained on extrication of a patient from a simulated vehicle accident. Members learned different techniques for removing a patient safely, as well as different ways to gain access to a vehicle that has been compromised! Thank you to Delzell Brothers for the donation of the car!
