About us

DCFC Fire Department

In the early morning hours of January 7, 1887, a fire started in the back of Holliday’s Poolroom on lower Clinton Street and spread quickly before it was discovered. It raced completely out of control. The city fathers held a quick meeting and voted to telegraph the Wilmington Police Department to request fire equipment and assistance.
