By land or by water, Wilmington’s ESDA is willing to lend a helping hand
For almost a half-century, a local group consisting mostly of volunteers has been working with area first response agencies to lend a helping hand as needs arise. The Wilmington Emergency Services and Disaster Agency has been in existence since the 1970s, created through an act of the Illinois General Assembly. The organization primarily works with the city of Wilmington and Wilmington Fire Protection District, although crew members pitch in and help out in other communities, including Morris and Coal City.
