Help the fire district save your life

When you need real help to protect your family or property, who do you want to come and how quickly do you want them to arrive?

In an emergency situation, 60 seconds seems like a lifetime. In some cases it could mean the difference between life and death.

Our heroes from South Kitsap Fire and Rescue are asking us to help them help us on May 19 by simply renewing the existing levy.

No additional taxes, just continue helping them help us.

With the highest population, at least 50 percent more square miles to cover, and significantly more emergency responses than any other departments in our area, maintaining our level of financial support makes all the sense in the world.

Please join me in voting yes for EMS in SK.
