Two fire chiefs are coming forward to talk about how emergency services have impacted their lives personally. Benton County Fire District 4 and Benton County Fire District #1 have measures on the August Primary Election ballot and have scheduled meetings to answer questions from the public. Benton County Fire District 4 is asking voters to approve a bond of 28 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value (approximately $7 per month for the owner of a $300,000 home). The bond would build and equip a fire station (including an ambulance), as well as replace three fire engines approaching the end of their usable lives. The fire district has two stations and has built one every 20 years in response to population growth.
