I am writing to express my unwavering support for the Oroville Fire District No. 1 levy lid lift on the November 2026 ballot. As a resident of the Oroville community, I have seen firsthand how much we rely on our local volunteer firefighters. Every day, our volunteers respond within minutes to life-threatening emergencies, whether battling wildfires, providing critical medical assistance, or responding to serious highway accidents. The most recent fire season has been among the worst in Washington State’s history, placing unprecedented demands on local fire districts. Rising costs for fuel, equipment, vehicle maintenance, and training continue to strain the district’s budget. Voting YES ensures the Oroville Fire District No. 1 keeps pace with inflation, maintain essential equipment, and continue providing the timely emergency response that protects our community. Investing in our fire district is an investment in the safety and well-being of Oroville, both now and for future generations.
