Hurricane Irene - Dover

Thursday, July 2, 2015

The Dover Fire Department responded to almost 50 storm related calls in just over a 12 hour time frame in support of Hurricane Irene efforts. Volunteer crews fully staffed 4 engines, 2 ladder trucks, a brush piece, a utility piece and a marine unit for almost 24 hours. All crews were centrally located at the HQ station downtown and responded to a myriad of calls ranging from water rescues to hazardous flooding conditions at the local hospital. The Department is very proud of the herculean effort that was put forth by its members.
