Consolidation

As Upper County continues to grow, more demands will be placed on local emergency services and fire protection; despite the overwhelming dedication of all of our firefighters, no single department will be able to keep up with the growth alone.

The Fire District must be a leader in partnering with our neighboring Upper County agencies and treat them with respect while honoring their histories. We must embrace our District motto of “Neighbors Helping Neighbors.”

I will promote consolidation in the Upper County by:

  • I am not in support of the current merger talks that would roll District 7 into Kittitas Valley Fire and Rescue (KVFR) in Ellensburg.
  • Keeping an open mind, practicing measured leadership, and promoting mutual trust after we are first good partners to all of our neighbors.
  • Ensuring no one feels forced to merge or consolidate. Fire agencies in Upper County will come together when it is beneficial for all involved.
  • Being open to consideration in the future with Upper County departments. Residents of Fire District 7 live here and pay taxes here – your money should stay here.
