I don't understand how the LMRFD got stuck providing ambulance service for 2200 square miles. Dolan Springs and Meadview tax payers are supplementing the ambulance service to over 2000 square miles outside of our 144 square mile fire district.
We need to start a petition to keep LMRFD firefighters and the ambulance in the fire district except for mutual aid per mutual aid agreements.
If the people outside the LMRFD want ambulance service and fire service they need to join the fire district or start their own.
When our only ambulance is at mile post 3 on US-93 for a dehydrated hitchhiker and your husband has a heart attack and dies a block from the fire station, don't you want to know why?
Does anyone even check on calls in Meadview? Half the town pays no fire tax, yet gets the same service.
Either keep LMRFD resources in the LMRFD, or make the outlying areas like White Hills, Rosie's, the Chevron next to Rosie's and the first stop pay fire tax
It is not fair to have the poor community of Dolan Springs support 2200 square miles for EMS.
No other Fire District in Arizona allows their only firefighters and ambulance to go 50 miles outside the fire district to make a couple bucks. I don't understand why the people in the LMRFD don't get it.
