Enhanced Fire Service May Be On The Horizon For Some Oro Valley Residents

Thanks to the efforts of Chief John Fink, Golder Ranch Fire District and Mike Treece, Chairman of Mountain Vista Fire District, and their respective Board of Directors, many Oro Valley residents could see enhanced fire service in the near future.

Thanks to our friend Phil Richardson, who worked hard on behalf of all of his neighbors. As a result of all these efforts, the agreement between these two fire districts will go a long way in offering the Oro Valley residents south of Hardy road with enhanced fire service by both fire districts.

Although the two districts have worked out the details, the agreement must still be approved by the Oro Valley Town Council. They will discuss this issue at the April 1 Council Meeting.

If the citizens, especially those that will be directly affected by this potential upgrade in service, have any interest, they will show up for this meeting and endorse the agreement.

Hopefully ALL seven members of the council will vote to approve this Mutual Aid Agreement, that is in the best interests of our citizens.
