The Wilmington Fire Department (WFD) maintains six fire engine companies, two ladder companies, a marine fire fighting force, three ambulances, and one rescue squad.  In recent years, the department has promoted a ride along program which gives city residences an opportunity to evaluate possible career decisions.  In addition, department officials have enacted a program that requires firefighters to be involved with community associations on a regular basis.
