Fire stations are essential infrastructure for our community, playing a critical role in public safety. To ensure their resilience during natural disasters such as tornadoes and other emergencies, they must adhere to stricter building codes. This is vital for maintaining safe spaces for public gathering and effective emergency response.

​

Additionally, fire apparatus have become larger and more sophisticated, driven by evolving technologies and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) safety standards. As a result, the costs of fire trucks have increased by 5-7% each year. Most trucks require customization based on the specific needs of the communities they serve, considering factors like local landscape and architecture. Consequently, the average cost for new fire trucks can exceed $1 million.

​

Proposition F addresses these critical needs by providing the necessary funding for upgrades to our fire stations and the purchase of modern equipment, ensuring that our emergency services remain effective and responsive to the demands of our growing community.
