Coastal Delaware EMS Fee To Jump

FENWICK ISLAND – Taxpayers will be presented with an increase in ambulance service charges in the upcoming fiscal year as the Bethany Beach Volunteer Fire Company is faced with making enhancements to keep up with call volume.

Earlier this month, Bethany Beach Volunteer Fire Company (BBVFC) President Steve Lett, EMS Chief Doug Scott, Fire Chief Brian Martin and Treasurer Jack Martin came before the Fenwick Island Town Council to request an increase in the annual Emergency Medical Service (EMS) service fee.

The BBVFC EMS Division is a collaboration between the fire company and property owners within the towns of Bethany Beach, South Bethany, Fenwick Island and the Sea Colony Recreation Association. The financial commitment of these sponsors and others allowed for service to begin operation on Dec. 31, 2008.
