A five member crew with Engine 54-4, our 1991 Piece pumper, deployed from the State Fire School, along with eight other fire companies, from throughout the state in support response and recoveryof the hard hit fire and EMS companies in North Carolina.  The deployment coordinated through the fire School and DEMA as a result of what is call an EMAC  (Emergency Management Assistance Compact) between states for a response in support of backfilling crews already in the disaster area.  The crews are expected to arrive at a stagging area in Raleigh later today, then be deployed as needed to the effected area.  The Delaware contingent is expected to be committed for the next seven days.
