In February 1966, a major fire swept through the Blue Hen on Rehoboth Avenue. The Farmers Bank and 5 & 10 Store were also damaged. The general alarm blaze was fought by Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, Milton, and Milford Fire Departments with nearly a foot of snow on the ground. The new snorkel was to prove her worth on this fire and many there after.

On April 15th, 1966 delivery was accepted of a new 1966 Cadillac ambulance to replace the 1960 model. On August 7th, 1968 a new 1968 Cadillac ambulance was placed in service to replace the 1963 model. This represented a new change as the new ambulance was two-tone black and white, which would become the trademark of RBVFC ambulances for the next twenty years.

On March 5th, 1969 the company accepted delivery of a new 1969 American LaFrance 1250 GPM pumper with an 800 gallon booster tank. This unit was the first diesel in the company's history and replaced the 1950 Ford/Hahn.

Ten days later the company accepted delivery of a new 1969 GMC 3/4 ton pick-up truck for brush and field fires. The new 4-wheel drive unit was equipped with pump and 180 gallon booster tank.

On March 11th, 1970 the company responded to Ocean City, Maryland to assist the Ocean City Fire Department on a major fire at the Roosevelt Hotel located in downtown Ocean City.

On New Years Eve 1970 all equipment and all hands were sent to assist Lewes Fire Department in blizzard conditions as a general alarm blaze swept through the downtown business district. The RBVFC Snorkel was used to contain the conflagration.

On July 7th, 1970 we received and placed in service a new Miller-Meteor Cadillac ambulance. In May of 1972 we took possession of a second Miller- Meteor Cadillac ambulance each time replacing the older model.

On January 7th, 1972 the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Co. assisted by neighboring companies fought a general alarm fire that destroyed the former Stockley Van Camp Factory located along the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal in the Washington Heights area of the city.

On April 25th, 1973 the company purchased Lot 65, Rehoboth Avenue (east of existing fire hall) for future expansion. In 1973 a committee was appointed to look into and design a major addition to the existing fire station.

In 1975, marked the completion of our $200,000 two story addition on the east side of the fire hall. This represented the largest single undertaking in the company's history at the time. The new addition included three fire and ambulance apparatus bays, a large kitchen, banquet hall, meeting room, and offices. Efforts by the company members and Ladies Auxiliary holding bingo games for the next decade would pay most of the cost of the new structure.
