VOTE YES ON MEASURE NO. 24-82!

Today you have an opportunity to show the volunteer and career firefighters at Woodburn Fire District your support for the quality fire protection services they provide to you each day. As you consider your vote on Measure No. 24-82, keep in mind that these men and women show amazing dedication to our community, responding to our calls for assistance day and night. For more than 20 years, Woodburn Fire District has served this area, assisting us in our darkest hours – when our homes have caught fire, when our cars have violently collided, when we’ve fallen from our beds and couldn’t get up again. During that time, they’ve done their work in the face of reduced revenues, with no additional financial support from voters.

The Woodburn Fire District’s request for $4.6 million to purchase new equipment and remodel it’s aging facilities is a bare-bones proposal that will enable this fiscally responsible organization to continue providing exceptional service to our 75-square-mile service area into the next decade.

At a cost of only 28 cents per $1,000 of assessed property valuation, the bond measure would cost the owner of a $150,000 home only $42 per year. That’s just $3.50 per month – a relatively small price to pay for the comfort of knowing firefighters will be able to respond quickly with the most up-to-date equipment available.

Please join with us today! Vote YES on Measure 24-82. Woodburn firefighters have come to our assistance time and time again. Now it’s our turn to assist them in fulfilling their basic equipment and facilities needs.

A vote in favor of Measure No. 24-82 is a vote in favor of protecting our community.
