Wildwood was covered with seven inches of snow Feb. 17. I would like to thank the Wildwood Fire Department, Platoon A in particular, for assisting me in my snow shoveling efforts. They are not only trained to fight fires and assist people with medical problems, they also perform a lot of duties above and beyond their assigned jobs. I am sick and tired of people degrading our first responders, saying they earn too much money. They are an important asset to any community. Take a minute and think about what our communities would be like without them.
