Voters on Tuesday gave strong support to a levy for the Spokane Valley Fire Department that will fund salaries, equipment, fire engines and capital projects. The $113 million maintenance and operations levy, approved by 74 percent of voters, will be spread across four years and replaces an expiring levy passed by voters in 2015. “I think when we see support like that from the community we serve, it just validates the hard work that the firefighters and everyone in our organization does day in and day out and the value the public sees in the services we provide,” said Spokane Valley Fire Chief Bryan Collins.
