To the few crying about the vehicles in North Wildwood: They are military surplus. The cities get them free of charge. Also, would you like the police and fire departments to respond to emergency calls when it is flooding? You live on an island surrounded by water. For years, the police officers and firefighters had to walk and carry people out of the houses to a pick-up truck, which always broke down. If you care so much about our community, volunteer your time during a storm to help out.
