GEORGETOWN, Del. \u2014 Georgetown EMS is hosting a four-day carnival fundraiser from June 11 through June 14 to raise money for operations, a new ambulance, and American Legion Post 8. The event is taking place at 406 North Front Street in Georgetown. The fundraiser follows a Sussex County Council financial review that identified Georgetown EMS and Memorial Volunteer Fire Company as two of the county\u2019s most financially vulnerable emergency service providers. Captain Deanna Loeb said the EMS team currently operates out of a garage not designed as an ambulance station, emphasizing the urgent need for additional funding. Without increased financial support, Georgetown EMS risks longer emergency response times or interruptions in service, which could affect care for local residents. The carnival will feature rides, games, and activities aimed at bringing the community together while supporting local emergency medical services. Organizers hope the fundraiser will help stabilize EMS finances and provide resources necessary to maintain timely and effective emergency care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
