In response to your inquiry, as you’re aware, the Wicomico County Council does not authorize or approve where volunteer fire companies operate. That general statement is subject to an exception in the case of the Salisbury Fire District, for which there is an agreement (“Fire Service Agreement”), with which you are familiar, between the City of Salisbury and Wicomico County that was negotiated for the County by the County Executive and approved by the County Council earlier this year.
That said, I believe your organization does have the flexibility, as you suggested, to conduct operations in accordance with “mutual aid” or other agreements that it has with other volunteer fire companies that serve specific areas as agreed among fire chiefs of those companies. This can be authorized without Council approval.
John T. Cannon
President
Wicomico County Council

Wow,that means case closed.This is great news.
John, if you knew this, then why did you stick your big nose in between Culver and Day over the summer?
Election day is coming, Johnny.
10:11 - can we get someone decent to run?!
All that, just to get his name and picture in the news.... again.
That's what we call a limp biscuit. LOL!
I think that’s too little too late! Trying to look good while the City sues the Volunteers. Too late to detach yourself now. The people will speak come election time.
Sounds like election time
Who is running against him?
John cannon looks out for john cannon. He's worked something out behind closed doors with Day to benefit cannon slum properties inc. guaranteed
And with that said.... Station 1/13 (whatever it is) is back in business and able to run!! Now what will the ISO ratings and insurances look like when a building next to them burns down and the city won’t use them?
Council should stand for what's right and help put 13 in service
