The Lewes Fire Department, Inc. is a combination volunteer/career fire department that provides fire and emergency medical services to Lewes and surrounding jurisdictions in Sussex County Delaware. Lewes is the busiest fire department in Sussex County and the fifth busiest in the state, not including the City of Wilmington
FIRE SERVICES
The department maintains a fleet of 24 emergency vehicles to include 5 Engines, a Tower Ladder and a Rescue Engine, 2 Brush Trucks, 2 Marine Units, 6 Basic Life Support Ambulances, and various miscellaneous response units. These units are housed in 3 fire stations that protect 54 square miles of the Lewes community. The department also responds mutual aid to Indian River, Georgetown, Milton, Rehoboth Beach, and Slaughter Beach.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
The Lewes Fire Dept., Inc. provides emergency medical services for the Town of Lewes and surrounding areas, including Cape Henlopen State Park and the Cape May – Lewes Ferry. We currently staff our units with 25 full-time career NREMT-Bs and 6 part-time career NREMT-Bs who work in shifts of six during the day and four at night. All shifts are complimented with volunteer NREMT-Bs as call volumes demand. This staffing allows Lewes Fire Department to provide EMS coverage for our district on a 24/7 basis with no interruption in service, despite the enormous growth in our area and rising number of EMS calls.
