People from across Delmarva came together on Saturday with one goal in mind: to support the Millville Fire Company and their push for a much needed new fire hall.
“Bunk rooms,” said Gregory Hocker, president at the Millville Volunteer Fire Company.
“We need to upgrade our engine base, we need more office space, more storage space and so on,” said Hocker.
Firefighters here say the population in Sussex County is constantly growing, so they are in desperate need of a new upgrade.
“Right now our facilities just can’t handle the volume of calls that we’re having and also the amount of manpower that we need,” said Hocker.
Fire officials tell 47 ABC they are also running out of space.
“We have a dive unit now, water rescue unit now,” said Hocker, “I mean, we’re constantly growing and we got to grow ourselves.”
