We accomplish this through focusing on the mission first and applying our core values in all we do to enable us to reach our vision of becoming the fire department that provides the very best fire protection and EMS care in Wicomico County, on the Eastern Shore, in Maryland, and in the U.S. This is brought to pass through the success of our people and with a focus on creating a department that has tactical equality; which is to have both career and volunteer components have an equal role in the department, promotional equality; which means that both career and volunteer components have an equal standard of knowledge, skills, and abilities, and developing diversification strategies that recognize the great talents of our people and their individual contributions to the department and our community. We hold ourselves to a standard of taking pride in all we do, conducting ourselves with a high degree of professionalism, being proficient in our delivery of service, and finally remaining personally accountable for our actions.
