So many firemen in Wildwood? Four on a shift is not many. A spouter's statement that there are few fires shows how little the writer knows about the department. There are less than 10 volunteers. The department personnel is trained in a wide variety of emergency and service response, hence the term first responder. Private EMS is not likely, considering there would be little if any profit for the staff required. Wildwood FD is committed to providing the best service and is active in the city in many ways. Stop in, talk, learn and listen.
