Cape May - If Cape May actually goes through with privatizing the EMS portion of the fire department, this would allow more manpower on the actual fire apparatus. As far as the pay rates, it is up to us firefighters and our union to negotiate a fair deal with the city. On the other hand, no one can or should blame us for moving on to other better paying jobs in fire and ems. This is why so many leave and move on. For instance, EMTs can go just over the bridge, to the next town, work for Inspira EMS, and make more than the wages we are paid to be emt / firefighters by almost two fold.
