On National First Responders Day, we recognized the different roles that reflect the same goal: serving our community.
The incredible teamwork between our 911 dispatchers, police officers, fire departments, BLS providers, and field paramedics is celebrated. We are proud of the crews who keep the gears turning 24/7/365, regardless of which department is served.

Congratulations to our very own, Mikell Helmer!

Dispatcher II Helmer is known to go above and beyond every day. He is a great example to new and seasoned dispatchers alike and is an excellent resource to our Emergency Communications Division.

We are so proud of you, Mikell! This is well deserved!

Kent County Department of Public Safety’s Emergency Management, Field Communications, Drone Team, and CERT volunteers responded to Lulu M. Ross Elementary School this morning to support crews battling the fire.

CERT volunteers assisted with firefighter rehabilitation, putting their mass care training into action to support responders. Following clearance from the Fire Marshal, members also searched classrooms for classroom pets. We are grateful for their willingness to serve and the care they brought to each assignment.

Today has been a difficult day for Milford. For students, Ross is a familiar place filled with friends and trusted teachers. For staff and generations of families, it holds years of hard work, milestones, and memories. Our hearts are with everyone who calls Lulu Ross their school.

Thank you to the firefighters, EMS crews, school staff, volunteers, and all responding partners who came together to help this morning.
