📚✏️ FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! 🚌🍎

The Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company would like to wish all of the students, teachers, faculty, and staff of the Caesar Rodney School District a safe and successful first day of school!

As the buses hit the roads and students head back to the classroom, we ask everyone traveling through our community to slow down, stay alert, and watch for school buses and children. Please remember to stop for flashing red lights and give our buses plenty of room.

To all the students — whether today is your very first day of school or the start of your senior year — we hope you have an awesome year filled with new friends, great memories, and plenty of success!

And to the parents… enjoy that first quiet cup of coffee! 😂☕️

Have a great school year, Riders! 💙💛

🎒 Supporting Our Local Students! ✏️📚

On Monday, August 3rd, the Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company Auxiliary proudly donated backpacks and school supplies to the Delaware State Police “Operation Troopers Have Your BACKpack” program!

This great program helps provide local students with the supplies they need to start the school year prepared and ready to learn.

Pictured are Auxiliary President Deb Lawhead and Vice President Janet King, along with their little helper, dropping off the donations! ❤️

We’re proud of our Auxiliary for continuing to support not only our Fire Company, but our community as well.

Great job, ladies — and of course, to the little helper who made sure everything was delivered safely! 🎒🚒

🚤 More Than Just Fire Trucks — Training for the Water 🌊

When most people think of the Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company, they think of fire engines, ambulances, and responding to emergencies on the road. But our responsibility doesn’t stop at the shoreline.

Our first-due response area includes several miles of river and waterways, along with tens of square miles of mutual-aid response area on the Delaware Bay. From boaters in distress and water-related emergencies to searches and other marine incidents, our members have to be prepared to respond when the call comes in — whether it’s on land or on the water.

That preparation starts with training.

Our members are constantly working to improve their skills, become more familiar with our marine equipment, and practice the techniques needed to safely and effectively operate in a water-rescue environment. Every training gives our crews another opportunity to learn, improve, and become more confident working together.

Water rescue presents its own unique challenges, and those skills don’t come from simply owning the equipment. They come from putting in the time, getting on the water, and training together.
🔥 On the fireground.
🚑 On the street.
🚤 On the water.

Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company — always training, always improving, and always preparing for the next call

🇺🇸🚒 From Fireworks to Fire Calls – An Independence Day to Remember 🚒🇺🇸

At 1700 hours yesterday, Engine 55 headed west to enjoy a holiday dinner with our brothers and sisters at Station 41 in the Camden Fire District. As is often the case in the fire service, the celebration didn't last long.

Just before 1800 hours, a working residential fire was dispatched in the Rodney Village area. Units arrived quickly and brought the fire under control. While returning to Station 41, Engine 55 also assisted with a fire alarm assignment.

After dinner, Engine 41, Tower 41, and Engine 55 headed out to enjoy the local fireworks display. However, before the festivities could begin, Station 41 was dispatched to assist in Caroline County.

As darkness approached, the evening quickly escalated. A rapidly spreading field fire in northern Kent County threatened nearby homes, drawing resources from across the county. At nearly the same time, severe thunderstorms moved through the Smyrna and Clayton areas, bringing numerous electrical hazards, downed wires, and an overwhelming call volume. With local resources committed, Kent Center directed Engine 55 to respond to Smyrna to assist with the growing number of emergencies.

While Engine 55 was handling storm-related calls, Station 55, along with Engine 41, was dispatched to a reported fire at a salvage yard just outside Magnolia. Engine 41 arrived to find multiple acres of grass, brush, and tires burning and immediately requested additional alarms. Fire companies from Dover to Houston worked together for several hours to contain the fast-moving fire.

Shortly after returning to quarters, Station 55 was dispatched once again to the Camden Fire District for another reported structure fire. Squad 41 and Engine 55 arrived to find fire showing from an attached garage. Crews made a quick attack, and the fire was brought under control before it could spread further into the residence.

By the end of the evening, Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company had responded to 9 emergency incidents in just 6 hours. During the height of the storms and multiple large fires, Kent County dispatched more than 50 fire and emergency-related incidents.

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of our mutual aid partners who responded alongside us, covered our district while we were committed to incidents, and worked tirelessly throughout an extremely busy holiday evening. It was a true demonstration of teamwork, dedication, and the strength of the mutual aid system.

While many were enjoying Independence Day celebrations, firefighters, EMTs, dispatchers, and law enforcement officers across our county were hard at work protecting our communities.
Stay safe, and thank you for your continued support of the Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company. 🇺🇸🚒

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day from the Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company! 🇺🇸

Today, as we celebrate Independence Day and America's 250th Birthday, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering spirit that have shaped our nation since 1776.

For nearly a century, the members of the Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company have proudly answered the call to protect our community. As we prepare to celebrate our own 100th Anniversary in 2027, we're reminded that service, commitment, and community are values that connect generations of Americans.

Whether you're enjoying a backyard barbecue, watching fireworks, or spending time with family and friends, we encourage everyone to celebrate safely.

From all of us at Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company, thank you for your continued support. We wish everyone a safe, happy, and memorable 4th of July as we celebrate 250 years of American freedom.

Last night, Station 55 was dispatched alongside Ambulances 40 and 49, KM-10, and Trooper 2 for a reported motor vehicle collision with a rollover on southbound Route 1, south of Trap Shooters Road.

Crews arrived to find a single vehicle that had overturned. Rescue 40 was added to the assignment to assist with patient care and traffic control. In total, five patients were transported to local hospitals for evaluation and treatment.

Once the incident was placed under control, the scene was turned over to the Delaware State Police and DelDOT.

While returning to the station, Rescue 55 was redirected to assist Station 40 and multiple EMS units with a medical emergency involving multiple patients in the Bowers Fire District.

We thank all of our mutual aid partners for another great example of teamwork and professionalism. We wish everyone involved a full and speedy recovery.

🚒 When our community calls, we’re always ready to answer.

🚒 Mutual Aid Coverage Assignment 🚒

At 1535 hours today, Station 55 was alerted to provide coverage for the City of Dover while Dover Fire Department units, along with several mutual aid companies, operated at a multi-alarm residential fire within the city.

The Squad and Duty Officer initially relocated to Dover Fire Department Headquarters (Station 1). Shortly after arriving, Station 55 units were reassigned to Dover Station 2 to provide additional city coverage.

During the incident, fire protection within the City of Dover was maintained by:
Squad 49 and Tower 50 at Station 1
Squad 55 and the Duty Officer at Station 2

Our crews remained on standby for approximately 2½ hours, ready to respond to any additional emergencies within the city until they were released by command.

Mutual aid and station coverage assignments play a critical role in ensuring that communities continue to receive emergency services while crews operate at large-scale incidents. Thank you to all of the departments that worked together today to keep our residents and neighboring communities protected.

While at the Cover assignment, Rescue and Amb 55 were alerted to assist Station 40 on a MVC in Bowers Beach, but were cancelled just after dispatch.

🚨 When Seconds Count, Teamwork Saves Lives 🚨
On April 5, 2026, Camden-Wyoming Fire Company and EMS assets were dispatched to a life-threatening emergency involving a child who was choking from a seatbelt. In those critical moments, every second mattered, and the actions of numerous first responders made all the difference.

Just after the dispatch was transmitted, Assistant Chief Cody Outten was driving in the area in Command 55 and immediately responded, arriving just behind the ambulance crews. Through outstanding teamwork, rapid decision-making, and coordinated efforts by everyone on scene, a positive outcome was achieved for the child and their family.

Yesterday, the crews involved were honored by Senator Dave Lawson in recognition of their dedication, professionalism, and lifesaving efforts during this incident. While individual recognition is appreciated, this incident serves as a reminder that successful outcomes are rarely the result of one person—they are the result of an entire team working together toward a common goal.

From the dispatchers who answered the call, to the EMS providers, firefighters, officers, and supporting personnel, thank you for your professionalism and commitment when it mattered most.

When seconds count and life hangs in the balance, training, teamwork, and decisive action can make all the difference.

Congratulations to everyone involved on this well-deserved recognition. We are proud of all those who answered the call and worked together to help achieve a positive outcome. ❤️🚑🚒
