Mount Moriah Volunteer Fire Department
About our organization
The Mount Moriah Volunteer Fire Department is located in the Town of Mount Moriah on the beautiful west coast of Newfoundland & Labrador. Our department provides fire and emergency services to the approximately twenty (20) square kilometer town which consists of approximately three hundred (300) homes and about eight hundred (800) residents.
Our department is made up strictly of all volunteers who give their time endlessly to provide adequate services to our community. Many community services only survive because of these volunteers whose contributions enrich our community, make us more resilient and help define our character. Also, the support of the residents is something that helps the department immensely.
Volunteer Fire Departments have a special uniqueness. There are not many groups that require their volunteers to put down their pens, tools or children, day or night and rush off to put themselves in danger to protect others. If you feel like you would be a great addition to our department, please get in contact with us. We meet every Monday night at 7 PM at our fire hall located on Serpentine Road.
