There is increasing confidence that the line of strong to severe storms over northern MD will reach the Maryland Lower Eastern Shore and perhaps the northern Neck and VA Eastern shore this afternoon.

Cambridge by 230pm
Salsbury by 3pm
Ocean City and Lewisetta by 330pm
Wallops Island - by 4pm

Good news!

🚨 BREAKING GROUND: New Station 1 Construction Begins! 🚨

We are excited to announce that construction is officially underway on our new Station 1 facility at 6677 Main Street in Gloucester!

This new ~28,000 square foot, six-bay station represents a major investment in the future of emergency services for Gloucester County. It will give our crews the space, equipment bays, and modern facilities they need to keep responding quickly and safely to our community's calls for help.

This project has been years in the making, and it wouldn't be possible without the support of Gloucester County, our dedicated volunteers, and this incredible community. Thank you for standing behind us as we build for the future.

Mark your calendars — we'll be hosting an official groundbreaking ceremony in September! More details on the date and time will be shared soon.

⚠️ As construction gets underway, please use caution when traveling near the site at 6677 Main Street. We appreciate your patience and care as we work to build a stronger future for Gloucester's emergency services.

Stay tuned for updates as construction progresses — we can't wait to show you what's coming!
