42 Years of Service! 🚒

This month, we celebrate an incredible milestone for the Morrison Fire Department as we recognize Joe Bielema for 42 years of dedicated service to the Morrison community.

Forty-two years is more than a milestone. It represents four decades of answering calls, training, serving alongside fellow firefighters, and being there for our community when people needed us most.

In the history of the Morrison Fire Department, no member has served longer. Forty-two years makes Joe the longest-serving firefighter in the history of our department.

That kind of commitment is something truly special, and it is a legacy that will be remembered for generations to come.

Please join us in congratulating Joe on an extraordinary 42 years of service and thanking him for the countless hours, sacrifices, and memories made along the way.

👨‍🚒 42 years. One incredible legacy.

Congratulations, Joe, and thank you for 42 years of serving the Morrison community! 🔥🚒

🔥 25 Years of Service! 🚒

This month, we celebrate Craig “Toby” King for 25 years of dedicated service with the Morrison Fire Department!

As part of our tradition, members reaching 25 years receive an engraved axe. While they continue to serve, their axe is proudly displayed at the station alongside the axes of our other 25+ year members. Upon retirement, the axe is presented to them as a lasting thank-you for their service.

Congratulations, Toby, and thank you for 25 years of serving the Morrison community! 👨‍🚒🔥

Thank you Stateline Farm Rescue for an excellent class last Saturday September 19. We do the grain bin rescue at the Whiteside County Fair every year. This class was the full version of that training. Members from Morrison Fire Department and Thomson Fire Department participated in a classroom and hands on activity.
