Our Company consists of an Engine/Rescue, Tanker, Ladder and Ambulance along with a committed group of dedicated volunteers. Our members & staff contribute nearly 20,000 hours of their time yearly for emergency responses, training, fire prevention, duty crews and administrative support. We share the same pride today as our founders did 84 years ago and look forward to continuing our service to the community for many years to come.
HFC crews on Rescue/Engine 19 and B19 assisted Mill Creek Fire Company - Stations 2&21 on this MVC last evening.
Hockessin and Avondale (PA) units are presently on scene at a gas leak in a neighborhood off Old Wilmington Road. Delmarva is on scene and in the process of securing the leak.
There is always one who thinks they are above any rules. Hope the police talk with them but you just can't reason with some people!
Thank you for coming out so quickly and working to fix this!
Congratulations to Hockessin Firefighters Jack Bainter and Andrew Overman on graduating from the New Castle County Fire Academy!
This was the 7th Academy class held by Delaware State Fire School; a streamlined program for new firefighters to receive all of their basic firefighting, rescue and CPR/First Aid in the span of 4 months.
Andrew won the top physical fitness award and one of his feats was the most push-ups in a row; 144, the high for any Academy!
Andrew and Jack are both high school seniors and have devoted much time and service to our Company! It takes much time and commitment to complete this Academy, and HFC is very appreciative to have them both as members!
Congratulations Jack & Andrew!!! Super proud!
Jack, I'm so very proud of how you've grown into such a wonderful young man! Committed to your goals and always looking forward. Congratulations!
Congratulation Jack and Andrew! We are very fortunate to have both of you as members of HFC. Thank you for all your hard work!
Andrew, Congratulations to you as well! I'm proud of You and Jack for completing your training and being ready to continue your service to your community!
