The Town of Morrisville’s Spooktacular Haunted Trail will take place on Saturday, October 29, from 6 pm to 10 pm at Morrisville Community Park. As always, the early portion of the evening will feature a family-friendly trail with mild scares.

From 8 pm to 10 pm the trail becomes spookier, suitable for children ages 10 and older and adults. This year participants will take a sojourn through the woods with Dorothy in search of the Wizard of Morrisville, encountering frightening flying monkeys, witches, scarecrows, tin men and more!

The Morrisville Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department staff are hard at work designing costumes, sets and props for this year’s event, looking forward once again to teaming with a group of volunteers from local high schools to help staff the trail.

Admission is free, but interested participants should arrive early to avoid long lines.

Morrisville Fire/Rescue Department Awarded International Accredited Status

The Morrisville Fire/Rescue Department has received Accredited Agency status with the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) for meeting the criteria established through CFAI’s voluntary self-assessment and accreditation program. The Morrisville Fire/Rescue Department is one of 146 agencies to achieve Internationally Accredited Agency status with the CFAI and the Center for Public Safety Excellence, Inc.

In North Carolina there are only 10 cities with fire departments that are internationally accredited: Charlotte, Gastonia, Greensboro, Durham, Cary, Fayetteville, Rocky Mount, Wilson, Asheville and Morrisville.

Morrisville Fire Chief Todd Wright stated that the Accredited Agency status “demonstrates the commitment of the agency to provide the highest quality of service to our community.” Wright also said, “we have also been able to use the Commission of Fire Accreditation International’s process as a proactive mechanism to plan for the future of this agency and locate areas where we can improve on quality of services provided.”

Taking three years to complete, the process consisted of a community risk assessment, a self assessment and the development of a standard of coverage document along with the development of a strategic plan. Every town department contributed to the process. Wright stresses, “as a result of going through the process, we are providing a higher level of service to the community and our firefighters are safer as a result of better policies and practices that are in place.”
