Abstract
Since the provision of fire, rescue, and EMS is so critical to the welfare of the community
it serves, the Lewes Fire Department (LFD), Inc., has undertaken the development of a
strategic plan to assist in anticipating current and future needs and expenditures.
This report summarizes the findings associated with the development of this plan by the
University of Delaware’s Institute for Public Administration (IPA), under contract
through the University’s Coastal Community Enhancement Initiative, in support of these
strategic-planning efforts. Using GIS mapping and analysis, IPA has compiled a series of
base-layer information that can help inform planning decisions by the Lewes Fire
Department. IPA has also analyzed current and future demographic trends, from 2000 to
2030, within Sussex County, which will have a profound impact on the provision of
service by LFD.
