PROPOSITION FIRE

Vote YES on Proposition Fire – April 8,2025 Ballot

The Highlandville Rural Fire Protection District (HRFPD) is asking for your support in the upcoming April 8,2025 election. "Proposition Fire" is a proposed tax increase to ensure our community receives the fire protection and emergency medical services it deserves.

Why is this needed?

• No Tax Increase Since 1993 – We have managed our budget responsibly, but with rising costs, we now need additional funding to maintain and improve services.
• Add Paid Firefighter/EMTs – Currently, about 25% of calls during daytime hours go unanswered. This leaves a burden on CCAD and neighboring agencies when they are available.
• Equipment & Apparatus Upgrades – Keeping our firefighters equipped with modern, reliable tools to serve the community.
• Building Maintenance – Ensuring our stations remain operational and safe for our firefighters and community members.

The Proposed Tax Increase We are requesting an increase of $0.23 per $100 of assessed valuation. This small investment in public safety will have a significant impact on response times and service reliability.

How This Benefits You

• Faster response times for fire and medical emergencies
• More reliable service during daytime hours
• Reduced reliance on outside agencies
• Improved firefighter safety and resources

3 Town Halls to answer any questions the community may have.
