Here is a solution to the Wildwood Fire Chief salary. There are no laws or regulations that stipulate this must be a paid position. In fact, Wildwood's Chief used to be chosen from among the volunteers. It was during the Wager era that the paid department lobbied and received a paid chief. Prior to that, the chief and assistant chief were elected from the membership. This position can be volunteer again. There are many with the time in and credentials to immediately fill this position. Stop spending money unnecessarily.
