Engine Co. 15 has been hard at work throughout this storm assisting our mutual aid partners while still responding on fire calls. In large weather events, local fire companies will opt to send additional manpower to assist EMS. Thank you to DelDot, New Castle County Paramedics, Town of Delaware City & everyone else who has kept our communities running during this snowfall.

Crews responded lastnight to box 1500 for a residential fire on Washington st in town. Engine 15 arrived assuming the first engine with their own hydrant in front of the house. Deputy 15 arrived assuming Delaware City command, reporting fire on both floors and attic. Engine 15 had 4 hand lines charged and in operation throughout the fire. A second alarm was transmitted by command requesting more resources to assist during an extended operation. This residence was constructed in 1870, with a balloon frame construction. Creating many void spaces for crews to access fire to extinguish. Units operated for approximately 3 hours before returning to service.
Delware City Fire Company Looking For Responsible & Reliable People
In the early morning hours of January 7, 1887, a fire started in the back of Holliday’s Poolroom on lower Clinton Street and spread quickly before it was discovered. It raced completely out of control. The city fathers held a quick meeting and voted to telegraph the Wilmington Police Department to request fire equipment and assistance.
