I serve as President of the Hazel Dell/Salmon Creek Business Association, and am a resident of Clark County Fire District 6. The fire levy lid lift would fund more emergency personnel to respond to higher call volumes, improve training, and replace apparatus and equipment. Some funding will go to pay costs associated with COVID-19.
It is important to have an adequate fire and EMS response for residents and businesses. In a pandemic, it is critical. Our tax dollars built this system to be prepared in any emergency. I ask that our community consider the value of emergency services and our first responders when prioritizing their tax dollars.
