The Merrill Fire Department and its members pride themselves on being involved in the community we serve. By attending these community events and providing educational opportunities to the public is a win for both the Fire Department, the organization or event we are attending, and community as a whole. While some of these events are attended on duty as part of public education and prevention, there are also several fire department employees that spend their off duty time assisting with other community groups or activities. Overall the Merrill Fire Department attended or hosted 75 community events in 2018. In 2018, the Merrill Fire Department spent 775.50 hours attending various community activities. Some of these events included: Airport Days, The Merrill Housing Authority Resident Picnic, Annual New Year’s party for Pine Crest Residents, and Exit Interviews for Prairie River Middle School.
