The Grand Lake Fire Protection District’s taxpayers ushered in a 2019 mill levy telling the department to pursue a few objectives.
Voters favored paying the new tax in exchange for an enhanced ambulance response and services, heightened wildfire suppression and prevention capabilities, and for the fire department to have the necessary equipment and personnel to accomplish those goals.
At the Grand Lake Fire board meeting Feb. 10, board president David Craig had some good news.
“I’m pleased to report that the Grand Lake Fire Protection District is delivering successfully on each of the three of those objectives,” he said before detailing how the department has done it.
First, Craig described a new emergency medical response program, which includes expanded ambulance service and Grand Lake Fire personnel trained in advanced life support.
