Morrison Fire Department is a not-for-profit organization that provides critical protection and various emergency services, for the community of Morrison, IL, as well as aid to surrounding areas. A significant–and tasty–fundraiser will be held inside the station on Sunday, May 17, 2026, from 7:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Donations will be received.
Jeff Eissens noted, “All donations will go toward helping the MFD provide and maintain proper equipment and tools, to perform the services we provide to the community. We are looking to put our new engine in service. We will use all donated money to purchase items like hand tools, fittings, hoses, nozzles, extinguishers, and a radio for the new engine.
“We [will also repair] the south wall of our Fire Station with installing a larger, roll up entrance door.”
Enjoy inside seating in the Fire Station, 206 W. Main Street. Piles of pancakes will heat on the revolving griddle, while pork patties are grilled outside. You will be served pancakes, eggs, sausage, orange juice, milk, and/or coffee, for a donation
