Wildwood - To the spouter with the idea of privatizing Emergency Medical Services, how many firemen is too many? The City of Wildwood has four firemen per shift. The National Fire Protection Agency requires 21 firemen for the beginning operations of a house fire. The fire department also brings in $400,000+ in revenue a year. The fire inspection bureau brings in another $400,000+ a year in additional revenue. Atlantic will offer a zero bid, yes, but they make up for that zero bid by charging quadruple the amount to the patient for treating and transporting the patient with a $4,000 bill for transport.
