Morningside Volunteer Fire Department

==About==
The Morningside VFD is a 501c3 non-profit all-hazards volunteer fire and rescue service, serving Prince George's County, Maryland. Operationally, MVFD falls under Prince George's County Fire and EMS Department. MVFD's first due response area includes the Town of Morningside, Maryland as well as parts of the Suitland Parkway and Highway 495/Beltway. Second due response includes Andrews Air Force Base. 
In 2015, MVFD established an EMS division, providing BLS transport services and effectively transitioning from primarily volunteer with dayside career firefighters to 100% volunteer. In 2023, Morningside VFD placed Paramedic Ambulances 827 and 827B into service with county credentialed volunteer advanced life support providers. Volunteer ALS providers can upgrade the basic life support units as needed or as desired.
