The department volunteers answered 10 emergency calls in the last 24 hours as a result of the high wind event on Sunday evening. Responding to live wire fires, brush fires, car accidents, carbon monoxide incidents, and medical assists.

Please use caution when operating emergency generators, and never approach downed trees and wires.

Congratulations to Cameron Cairns on completing the Delaware State Fire School Fire Academy Program. Cam spent the past four months as a typical high school student, except on nights and weekends he completed the program which includes National Certifications for Firefighter I, Firefighter II, Hazardous Materials Operations, and Vehicle Rescue Technician.

Santa and the Volunteers are heading through town.

Follow us “live” as we navigate through town.

Volunteers spent Thursday night handling two emergency calls, and some vehicle extrication training.

This is a tie back stabilization method for vehicles on their side. Crews then flapped the roof for patient access. Ended the night putting it on four tires and took the doors and the roof off.

The Volunteers were out during lunchtime today at St. Thomas School spreading Fire Prevention lessons to the students. Even our youngest community members can learn safety lessons to take home to their families; and who doesn’t like squirting a fire hose!!
