VOTE YES for FIRE! Being ready to respond and protect our neighbors takes training and reliable equipment.

If approved, the funds would help equip the district to better respond to increasing fire and medical demands in our rural area, replacing outdated personal protective equipment, maintaining aging facilities and eventually replacing emergency vehicles.

The number of calls the fire district responds to has nearly doubled since 2010, yet voter approved fire district spending hasn't increased in over 35 years.

VOTE YES for FIRE!

With warm weather in our weekend forecast make sure to keep an eye on the kiddos. Drowning is the number one cause of preventable deaths for children in the U.S. www.safekids.org/tip/water-safety-tips-home

Whether you're bathing your baby in the sink or splashing around with your toddler in the bathtub, water is great fun for kids. But safety must come first.

When a fire district's equipment is aging and current tax revenues aren't enough to replace it, sometimes a levy increase is the only way to secure proper funding.
