There has been a cut to the fiber line in Waves. That is causing internet outages as well as some phone connectivity issues. If you need to access the internet, the fire department building in Salvo has WiFi available. You can access it from the parking lot area. The account is CBFD Guest and there is no password.

PLEASE do not block the buildings. Thanks!

After a long struggle with complications from surgery, Clyde Thompson was called to heaven Wednesday. He loved working at the pier and as Deputy Fire Chief at the Chicamacomico Banks Fire Department.
