The garages of the Morrisville Ambulance Squad have been transformed into a ghoulish haunted house that opens tonight in the borough.
For the fourth year in a row, the squad has turned its headquarters' six garages into its Halloween Haunted House. Emergency medical technicians, paramedics, squad fundraisers and other community members take part in the ghostly tradition, officials said.
This weekend, the fun runs from 7 to 11 o'clock tonight and Saturday and from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday.
The haunted house is also open from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Oct. 30 and 31. The Morrisville Ambulance Squad is located at 139 Washington St. It can be reached at 215-295-6766.
Admission in $4 per person, but a $1 discount will be awarded to thrill-seekers who bring a nonperishable or canned food item for people or pets.
Since there are a number of animal lovers in the area, pet food donations seemed like a good idea, squad supervisor Roxy Rookstool said.
"We have these animals that need a little help, too," she said.
Those donations will be given to Hope for the Animals, a no-kill, nonprofit dog and cat rescue organization in Lower Bucks.
Food donations will be given to Boy Scout troops for distribution, officials said.
