CAMDEN-WYOMING FIRE COMPANY INC

What CAMDEN-WYOMING FIRE COMPANY INC does

Camden-Wyoming Fire Company Inc is a combination volunteer and career fire company headquartered at 200 E Camden-Wyoming Avenue, Camden-Wyoming, Delaware, serving Camden, Wyoming, and surrounding areas within Kent County, Delaware. The organization was formed in September 1917 through the consolidation of the Wyoming Fire Company (organized 1890) and the Rescue Hook and Ladder Company of Camden (incorporated 1865), giving it a continuous service history of more than 130 years. It is structured as a private nonprofit with elected fire-line officers, an administrative officer corps, a Ladies Auxiliary, junior members, and a small paid career staff that supplements volunteer coverage on basic-life-support ambulances.

The company's core service offering is fire suppression — including structure, wildland, and vehicle fires — delivered through a modern fleet of engines (notably a 2021 Pierce Saber and a 1997 KME Fire Fox), a 2004 Pierce Dash Tower Ladder, a 2015 Pierce Velocity Squad rescue unit, a 1989 International tanker, BLS ambulances (2018 Ford E-450/Road Rescue and 2008 GMC/Horton), brush units, command vehicles, marine units, and utility vehicles. Emergency medical services are provided at the Basic Life Support level by NREMT-B certified personnel, supported by Kent County Paramedics for advanced-life-support interventions. Complementary offerings include fire-prevention education programs for schools and community groups, a Knox Box (KNOX-BOX 3200) rapid-entry system program that CWFC brokers to local businesses and residents, public live-dispatch radio streaming, hall rental, and fire/EMS records request processing for a $25 fee.

Revenue and operating support are drawn from municipal appropriations tied to the coverage area, community donations, hall rental, and small administrative fees, with the bulk of response labor supplied unpaid by volunteers. The company is operationally embedded in the Kent County emergency-services network through recurring mutual-aid partnerships with Dover Fire Department, Dover AFB Fire Department, Kent County Paramedics, and neighboring volunteer fire companies (Magnolia, Little Creek, Felton, Hartly). Its distribution model is direct field response — 24/7 emergency dispatch from a single headquarters station to incidents across the franchise area — with brand presence maintained through Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, a website photo gallery, and a live run log.
