Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 02/23/2020 - 7:36am
I have been a resident in Lake Valley Fire District's jurisdiction for 29 years. Fortunately, my family has never had to use their services. But even so, I appreciate the value of quality, highly-trained Firefighter/Paramedics. I would guess that those many individuals whose lives they have saved would agree. To effectively perform their jobs, they need the best equipment possible and the funding to obtain it.
I am fully in support of Measure B and encourage all residents to vote YES!
