    The Mt. Morris Fire Protection District, Mt. Morris, IL has been awarded a 2008 Fire Act Grant by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency.  The grant totals $126,000 dollars of which the District will be responsible for only $6,300.  The grant will be used to replace all of the District's communications equipment, pagers, hand held and portable radios.  The Districts current radio equipment is comprised of various models of pagers and radios that have been purchased over many years, some of which are no longer serviceable.  Each model has different features and operates differently.  The Federal Government has set a date of 2011 for all emergency radio equipment to be digital capable.  This is similar to the change that is occurring with television currently.  This grant will allow the District to replace all of it's radio equipment with new digitally compliant communications equipment.

    The District has been fortunate enough to receive multiple Fire Act Grants in the past.  The 2004 award was to update the Districts breathing air compressor and breathing apparatus.  The 2005 grant was to update the District's turnout gear.  The 2006 grant was for a back up emergency power generator for the firehouse.  Adding in the 2008 grant the District has received a grand total of $324,683.00

Welcome to the Mt. Morris Fire Protection District website.   The Mt.

The District protects the Village of 3,100 people as well as the 1,900 that reside in the 45 surrounding square miles of farms and fields. The District is staffed by a career Fire Chief, Ambulance Crew, and 30 Paid On Call Personnel. The District responds to approximately 150 fire alarms as well as 800 Ambulance calls.  Mt.
