This bill will allow our fire district to take the first step towards replacing a fire station that is over 75 years old. The station is in dire need of replacement so that we can continue to provide quality emergency services to our community....

This bill, when passed, would support a small volunteer fire department in their efforts to build a new fire station. The Fire District customers are 80% from outside the district. In essence the fire district has big city problems on a less than a small town budget....
