Letter: Vote for fire bond in Fire District 4

During the worst times of my life, Fire District 4 personnel were there to help me. I have called 911 asking for medical assistance several times in the past. I truly appreciate their professionalism and passion. They knew exactly what they were doing and informed me on what was going on.

Fire District 4 is asking voters to approve their 20-year bond, which would support new fire trucks and a new station. I fully support their proposition because I know that when you need them, you need them now.
