Letter to the editor: Vote yes for the Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue EMS levy

Posted

Please join me in voting yes for the Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue EMS levy. I moved to Ridgefield in 1987 and since that time I have seen a huge increase in the population of our fire district. I am coming from the perspective of being a firefighter for the City of Vancouver for 31 years as well as being a volunteer firefighter and fire commissioner for Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue for 12 years. During this, time I have observed the degradation of our ambulance service, with current wait times for transport of up to one hour. In order to protect our growing population and to provide adequate medical and fire protection, it is imperative that we vote yes for the Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue EMS levy.

Respectfully, 

Jon Babcock,

Ridgefield
