Busiest Year in WFD History

2023 was a record year for the Wilmington Fire Department.

 

Several things factor into our jump in calls, like an increased number of residents, more cars on the roads, and a final return to normalcy from COVID-19.

 

As an accredited and ISO Class 1 organization, we are committed to continual improvement. That means it’s our job to continue to figure out how to maintain our high level of service, despite an increase in the need for our help.

 

Some of the ways we are addressing that is through the implementation of our squad program, adding a new station in the Riverlights area, and continually assessing our deployment models and response times.

 

We believe the Wilmington area will only continue to grow, and with that our numbers will continue to increase. But we are committed to delivering the best service possible to our residents.
