[ Update, June 28, 2026. See these slides (PDF) from circa 2009 or earlier, when the quint concept was first being developed or proposed. ]

Morrisville is moving away from quints. Watch this presentation (via YouTube) by Fire Chief Nathan Lozinksy to town council on March 12, 2024, 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.
