The Hubbard Rural Fire Protection District is placing a measure before the voters that would impose $.80 per $1,000 of assessed value for five years.

The purpose of the measure is to allow the District to maintain existing equipment and to replace older equipment such as protective boots, coats, pants, gloves, air packs, face masks and fire hose.

The revenue will also be used to send its volunteer firefighters/medics to Occupational Safety & Health Act (OSHA) required seminars and other essential training seminars, and for the purchase of training tools such as CPR mannequins and current training manuals.

It is essential to the District to encourage and maintain a well-trained volunteer workforce. To do so, the District will compensate responding volunteers in the amount of $3.00 per call. The District will also have a full-time employee on staff for call response, maintenance of the building and equipment, performance of required equipment testing, and office work for required record keeping and reporting.
