In August 2025, Kent County received the results of a comprehensive year-long study conducted by FACETS, LLC, to investigate and detail the financial health and sustainability of the volunteer fire protection and ambulance transport services within the county and throughout most of Delaware. In 2024, there was an initiative by all three counties to look at the volunteer service and offer a snapshot of current finances, volunteer, and personnel trends; and to provide recommendations on the next steps to ensure that public safety networks, which have long served their communities, remain capable of meeting the evolving needs of a growing population within the county and state.
