Milnor Fire Department









Shortly after Milnor was organized, the need for fire protection 
was realized and the necessary action was taken to provide 
equipment. The actual date of organization is not known but it is 
believed to be before 1900. Records indicate that Milnor has the 
second oldest rural fire department in the State of North Dakota.

The fire department started with two chemical units that were 
pulled to fires by horses. As the years passed, new equipment 
was purchased to replace that which was outworn and outdated. 
In March of 1946, a new truck was discussed and purchased. In 
January 1952, another truck was purchased to be used in the rural 
areas. A drive was put on with townships and individual farmers 
giving money for this new unit.

The city of Milnor has their own volunteer fire department which 
is the only fire department in the county with the "jaws of life" 
at their disposal.

At the present time, the fire department has two trucks, two water 
tankers and another truck Currently, the Milnor Volunteer Fire 
Department has over 30 members and volunteers are always welcome.

 Milnor Harris Lunneborg Field and Airport

The Milnor Municipal Airport has recently been renamed the 
Milnor Harris Lunneborg Field and although it may be considered 
small, we are proud that many private planes use the facility.  The 
local flying club, Milnor Aviation Inc., uses the airport on a regular 
basis and each year holds a fly-in breakfast to raise funds for 
improvements and upkeep for the club’s airplane.    In the past 
two years they have added a new lighting system for safer nighttime 
and bad weather landings, fuel tanks, rural water and a courtesy car 
to be used by individuals flying into the airport.
