Our community is safer when we have 24/7 access to emergency crisis response equipped with updated tools and sufficient staff. To achieve this, East Pierce Fire & Rescue Proposition 1 authorizes a single-year levy lift to support emergency services.
Earlier this year, the board of fire commissioners for the district determined that a levy was necessary to fund the basic crisis services offered by the East Pierce Fire & Rescue District. With the heightened demand for existing services and the pressures of inflation and levy limitations, the fire district determined that it lacks sufficient funds to continue the same quality and quantity of services. If passed, Proposition 1 would restore the fire district levy to its original rate of $1.50 per $1,000 in assessed value, which would cost the owner of a $600,000 home about $900 a year. This would allow the district to staff two additional fire stations and two response units to address the growing district while retaining existing staff and services.
When a loved one is experiencing a health crisis, the last thing we want to worry about is whether or not our firefighters and ambulance services have the funding they need to help. District residents deserve to feel safe knowing that quality help is just a call away. Vote Yes on East Pierce Fire & Rescue Proposition 1 to ensure that our crisis responders have everything they need to be there for us when we need them.

Since 2020, emergency calls to the Central Pierce Fire & Rescue (CPFR) have spiked, translating to an average of 98 daily responses in 2023. Passing Proposition No. 1 would help maintain essential crisis services in the face of the community's growing need.
Proposition 1 is not a new tax. It seeks to restore the Regular Fire Levy to its original rate of $1 per $1,000 assessed value, which was initially approved by voters in 2019. At this rate, the owner of a $500,000 home would pay $500 a year for 24/7 emergency services.
Passing the levy now is pivotal in enabling CPFR to continue providing rapid and effective fire and emergency medical services to the fast-growing communities within central Pierce County. With a team of 356 firefighters and paramedics safeguarding approximately 108 square miles—covering areas like Puyallup, Spanaway, and Orting—CPFR's role is more crucial than ever. Through strategic investments like renovating and reopening key fire stations and refurbishing critical firefighting equipment, CPFR demonstrates its commitment to maximizing the impact of every dollar.
A 'Yes' on Proposition No. 1 is a vote for safety, preparedness, and well-being for all residents in central Pierce County.

From controlling deadly fires and responding to urgent medical crises to offering community CPR training, Fire Protection District 21 prides itself on providing quality services 24/7 to make us safer. To continue offering a high level of safety to the community, Proposition 1 authorizes a property tax levy to cover regular expenses of the district’s fire protection and other emergency services.
The fire district commissioners approved Proposition 1 to appear on April ballots earlier this year in order to ensure that the district has sufficient funding for its current services. Fire Protection District 21 is one of the largest in the county and has been helping residents in crisis since 1960. At a rate of $1.40 per $1,000 in assessed property value, this proposed levy would cost the owner of a $570,000 home about $798 a year. With approximately 10,000 residents in Dire District 21’s purview, it is critical that the district has the staff and resources needed to continue providing life-saving care.
Proposition 1 would maintain this work while supporting firefighter safety, facility and equipment improvements, the retention of existing staff, and the hiring of specialized staff such as paramedics trained in advanced life support services, as opposed to basic life support services which is all the district offers now. Without the levy increase, the district worries that current services may be compromised beginning on July 1st.

When a loved one is experiencing a health crisis, no one should have to worry about whether or not their local emergency services have the facilities and equipment needed to help. Fire Protection District 17 Proposition 15 authorizes a property tax levy to continue critical funding for the district’s fire protection and other emergency services.
The district – which serves residents of Sandy Point Shores, Sandy Point Heights, Neptune Heights, Neptune Beach, and some parts of the Lummi Indian Reservation – suffered severe damage from flooding in 2022. The fire district board determined that a levy is needed to ensure sufficient funding for damage repairs and emergency services, and approved the proposition to appear on April ballots.
At a rate of $1.25 per $1,000 in assessed property value, the levy would cost the owner of a $380,000 home about $475 a year. If passed, the levy provides funding to relocate and rebuild the damaged fire station while continuing quality services that include costs for staffing, training, equipment, and vehicles.
