My wife and I are in our 80s. Over the years we have both used the Fire Department's services for medical issues, and we have also called for a fire issue (chimney fire). The service we have received has been very professional.
I prefer to retain our fire department. Why pay more money for the same services, which is what would happen under the proposal?
And why add another layer of local government with yet another elected board? All that would do is insulate these important services from public scrutiny.
Save our Fire Departments!
