Wildwood - The problem with volunteer fire departments not being able to get new recruits is because of the dead weight at the firehouses. They are filled with lazy families who fill the rosters and just barely show up for drills or meetings. Most are also on the payroll. They complain that they can't offer more volunteer time because they are working for the city. And, the city allows them to leave and fight a fire. Don’t let these guys fool you. They are purposely holding back to make it appear they need a paid fire service. We don’t.
