Sea Isle City / New york - As a homeowner in this town how come the ambulance is 24/7 and funded and not the fire dept. With all the issues in the dept why are city officials not stepping up funding for fire protection 24/7. There is no reason in this world to not have apparatus show up for a emergency. Going off of other spouts I never realized how much the city turns there head on these guys. Think it's time to suck it up and not rely on volunteers. Even for a small tax increase atleast we know we have protection.
