Mission Statement

Most all fire companies in Delaware are non-profit volunteer departments. We rely on fundraisers to help support the department. It costs approximately $6,000 to outfit one firefighter with equipment and training. It is imperative that we do fundraisers to help with funding so we can help the communities by giving and installing smoke detectors, ongoing training of our fire fighters, updating equipment, repairing equipment and our fire prevention program.
