The Waynesville Rural Fire Protection District is hosting two more public informational meetings about Proposition Fire

The Waynesville Rural Fire Protection District is hosting two more public informational meetings to present and answer questions about Proposition Fire. Proposition Fire is a measure that, according to the district, is a tax increase that will prevent firefighter lay-offs, hire unfilled and unfunded firefighter positions, and increase firefighter pay and benefits to be competitive with the area. The measure will appear on the April 4th General Election ballot. A meeting to discuss Proposition Fire will be held tonight at 6:30 PM at Station 3 at 20965 Highway 28. If you are unable to attend that meeting, another one will be held on March 21st, again at 6:30 PM, at the Fire Training Center on 25785 Red Oak Road. In addition to these two events, a Family Safety Day will follow on the 25th of March. Shauna McCullough says it’s a day for education and preparation.
