On behalf of Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue, I want to thank voters for supporting the Emergency Medical Services levy. We recognize that our voters have agreed to these taxes with the expectation that the money will be carefully spent to provide a higher level of emergency medical care to our residents. We will meet that expectation. We are humbled by your support, and we will continue to be good stewards of your tax dollars.
EMS incidents make up 70 percent of our responses. Ensuring that our residents receive the best possible pre-hospital response and care is a critical part of our mission. The EMS levy will allow Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue to place the right resources at the patient’s side at the right time with the necessary support to ensure that you or a loved one is receiving advanced life support care with trained paramedics and EMTs.
We are thankful that our communities recognize the value that emergency services contribute to a higher quality of life.
Thank you for your unwavering support. It is a privilege to continue to serve you.
