The Arlington Heights Fire District 21 station was again a packed house Sept. 14.
The fire commissioners tentatively agreed to a new coverage partnership with the city of Arlington.
The interim fire chief announced plans to welcome back volunteers and invite greater citizen input.
And the community continued to express its skepticism, even as the campaign to recall the commissioners ended.
Gene Chase read aloud from a letter that Edgar Taft, of the Concerned Citizens of Fire District 21, had written and submitted to Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Eric Lucas, requesting that the group's previous petition to recall the fire commissioners be dismissed without prejudice.
This came in the wake of Travis Hots resigning as the fire chief of Arlington Heights, and Fire District 21 withdrawing from consideration of a Regional Fire Authority with Getchell and Silvana.
