Selbyville fire co.

What Selbyville fire co. does

Selbyville Volunteer Fire Company (operating as Selbyville Fire Company, formerly the Selbyville Volunteer Fire Department) is a 501(c)-style volunteer non-profit emergency services organization founded on January 6, 1923 and incorporated on January 11, 1929, headquartered at P.O. Box 88, Selbyville, Delaware. It provides 24/7 fire suppression, emergency medical services, technical rescue, water/dive rescue, and hazardous materials response to Selbyville and the surrounding Sussex County, Delaware and border-region Maryland communities, with emergency demand routed exclusively through the Sussex County Emergency Operations Center 911 dispatch system.

The organization operates a fleet of 17 specialized apparatus including a 2019 E-One Typhoon Extreme Duty rescue pumper (1,500 GPM), a Rosenbauer T-Rex 115-foot articulating aerial platform, side-scan sonar-equipped dive gear supporting 12 divers, and a 2022 Ford F-550-based ambulance. It is staffed by a combination of approximately 60+ volunteer members across active, associate, junior, and life categories plus a small full-time career EMS contingent; volunteers are trained and certified through the Delaware State Fire School, and EMTs hold NREMT-B credentials. The company maintains structured officer ranks including Fire Chief, Deputy Chief, Assistant Chiefs, Captains (Engine, Rescue, Truck, Dive), and administrative officers (President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary).

The business model is community-funded rather than transactional: revenue comes from tax-deductible community donations, a social hall rental facility (capacity 275, offered in 3/4/5-hour sessions with optional kitchen), and an annual golf tournament at Cripple Creek Golf and Country Club. The organization supplements emergency services with community programs such as the Knox Box rapid access system (partnered with Knox Company), live public dispatch audio streaming, and fire prevention education. No commercial pricing, subscription tiers, or external payer contracts are disclosed; the company is governed by an elected board and operates without a parent entity.
