The issue of fire protection in Diamond Beach is easy to resolve. A fire station built is not the answer. Station and trucks without trained, available members are worthless. As is a specially designed apparatus in Erma that will still take 15 to 20 minutes to arrive. It's a well known and publicized fact that new frame construction and modern furnishings burn at a furious rate and the smoke is deadly. Response time is everything. Settle with Wildwood Crest for whatever it costs and let them be the initial response company without the ridiculous current restrictions.
