On June 24th Wildwood City Firefighters, along with North Wildwood Firefighters conducted in-service training for open water rescue emergencies. This is a continued effort to keep firefighters skills sharp in handling drowning victims during the times that lifeguards may not be on duty.

Annually both departments conduct a full-day of training in equipment, its uses, techniques and scenarios so that firefighters are well prepared for these type emergencies. All firefighters are trained in the awareness level with many being trained in operations and technician levels.
