Morrisville Fire Protection District

About us

Morrisville Fire Protection District was formed during the April 2015 election, and since 2016 has been fully funded by property taxes.  Dues are no longer required and all property owners within the district are covered through these taxes!

Morrisville Fire Protection District is an all volunteer fire department serving Morrisville, Brighton, Bolivar, Pleasant Hope, and Wishart areas of Missouri.  We have 3 stations in our 89 square mile primary response area.
