Spokane Fire Protection District 8 Fire District Proposition #1

  • VOTE YES

    Vote YES for maintained fire services in Spokane

  • One of the most important things in an emergency is that medical and fire personnel are able to arrive on time and equipped to help. Passing Proposition No. 1 would allow voters to maintain a high level of fire and emergency medical response to the growing community. The district's current Maintenance and Operations Levy will expire at the end of 2023, and the district's board of commissioners is asking voters to renew it for 2024 through 2027. 

    If passed, this year's levy will continue to pay for firefighter and medical staff recruitment and training as well as upgrades on aging equipment and fire stations. At a rate of $0.50 per $1,000 of assessed value, which is the same as the current rate, the owner of a $300,000 home could expect to pay around $150 per year.

    Call volume in the district is up by nearly 30 percent and nearly 2,000 residents have moved in the last four years. Vote Yes on Proposition No. 1 to continue to prepare EMTs and firefighting staff to serve our community in the years to come.
