The more I learn about this "Fire Authority" proposal, the more I think about a great old saying --"if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
We have two well-functioning fire departments, highly integrated operationally with each other and with nearby departments.
The cities can raise additional funding if needed for fire protection more easily than an Authority could.
Staying with our existing departments avoids the upheaval of reorganization.
In my opinion, the best course of action now is to vote this proposal down and let the cities get back to doing what they've done well for over 100 years.
