We operate out of 4 stations that protect a primarily rural area. Our department is a public department whose members are on a volunteer status. The Morning Star Fire Department was started in late 1976, by a few individuals who wanted to see fire protection provided in East and Southeastern Garland County. The first truck, designated Company 1, was a 1976 FMC 1000 GPM pumper. Company 1 was housed at the Arky House warehouse, on Arkansas Hwy 70 East during the first days of the department, until a fire station could be built. Today the MSFD responds from 4 stations with a fleet of 16 vehicles.
