The company one volunteer firefighters have cut a deal to relocate to the Salisbury-Ocean City: Wicomico Regional Airport.

The move comes after deciding to separate from the Salisbury Fire Department.

Council president John Cannon told WBOC that this was a positive development.

Meanwhile, County Executive Bob Culver has proposed a budget amendment that would include the volunteer fire company.

The television station reports this came as a surprise to council members who said they were unwilling to provide $400-thousand for the company with further information.

The airport location for the fire company is expected to come up at the next council meeting.
