THANK YOU FROM YOUR FIRE CHIEF:

In this season of giving thanks, on behalf of the Board of Fire Commissioners and all the firefighters and paramedics of Kittitas Valley Fire and Rescue, I want to thank the community for approving our fire levy lid lift. This funding is critical to maintaining emergency service levels for the people we serve.

The citizens who voted, returned the fire levy to $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed property value, the same rate voters approved in 2007. By law, the fire levy cannot go above $1.50/$1,000.

We look forward to reporting to our community about how these tax dollars are spent to save lives and property. In the meantime, thank you again for supporting Kittitas Valley Fire and Rescue. We are truly grateful.

Sincerely,

John Sinclair
