Wildwood 2009 - Another great show!

Well, now that Wildwood is finished we can reflect on it with a slightly clearer eye.  I’d like to thank my staff for putting together another incredible show… Really top notch and each and everyone out did themselves to make us the envy of the boardwalk! We had a great display, with the perfect blend of apparatus, including one or two new twists to the traditional equipment. 

Kudos especially has to go to our Marketing Director, Michelle, who had to plan this without ever having really experiencedWildwood before - relying only on the input of our more seasoned members about what to expect and the recurring problems that come up.  She will be hard pressed to top this year’s hits - as the new Fire & Safety Services video and water were very popular items.  I understand she is already making notes for next year…

I’d like to thank Pierce and Oshkosh Capital for lending their support and allowing some of their very talented personnel come to the Jersey shore and help supplement our crew.  It is always a pleasure to have them along, and I hope it is a rewarding experience for them as they get to have a lot of 1 on 1 interaction with NJ firemen. There is one thing for sure about NJ’s bravest, both those who love Pierce and those who prefer the competition have one thing in common; they are never shy about expressing their opinions, right Sean!?

I’d also like to thank Wildwood Harley-Davidson for storing and transporting the NFFF Pierce/Harley-Davidson custom bike back and forth to the show for us each day.  That bike is the second bike Pierce and Harley-Davidson have joined together on with all proceeds from the chances going to the NFFF.  Hopefully the showing of the bike in Wildwood helped kick up the donations a notch for the NFFF.

Thanks again to everyone for all their hard work.  Be Safe!
