Morrisville is moving away from quints. Watch this presentation by Fire Chief Nathan Lozinksy to town council, about MFD evaluating changing from their current “quint concept” (adopted in 2010) to a traditional engine/ladder deployment. Or view his slides (PDF).

As he explains, the concept worked better when it was implemented. But today, the department has newer challenges and a greater pool of nearby resources, due to their participation in the CAM (Cary-Apex-Morrisville) system. Next steps, developing a new deployment model and presenting to council in a later month.
