The Wilmington Fire Department not only fights fires, but also acts as the first medical response team for residents - all of the firemen are trained Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). The Wilmington firemen provide the first line of emergency medical help to residents when one calls 911. Vigorous training and a strong sense of discipline is a source of pride for this fire department. Edward Bradbury is the current chief and Rick McClellan is the deputy chief.
