February 22nd marked another landmark for Morningside. In cooperation with Prince George’s County along with Fire and EMS Department Chief Bashoor, we placed our Department owned Ambulance In Service. The MVFD has never owned an ambulance since its inception in 1944, however, a County Owned and Operated Ambulance began operating out of the MVFD fire station in 2006.

In 2012 the MVFD elected to become a 100% Volunteer Department and assumed staffing responsibility of the previously owned and operated ambulance from the Prince George’s County Fire and EMS Department. This was no easy undertaking, the Department had to restructure itself to support this initiative and is proud to say that we provide this vital service to our community.
