Wonder Valley Community Center
80526 1/2 Amboy Road, Wonder Valley, CA 92277
At this community special meeting James Brakebill, of the Copper Mountain College Fire Technology Program, will present, showing us what a local Paid Call Fire Fighter (volunteer) program might look like in Wonder Valley. The PCF program is Option 2 (see PowerPoint presentation linked below). Mr. Brakebill will also present on ambulance and paramedic services.
We may be able to avoid a fire tax increase if we have the community support for a Paid Call Firefighter program. This would require a GREAT DEAL of community involvement, everyone pitching in each month to support the program. This would be kind of like in the old days, as in the photo above, where neighbors helped neighbors and everyone pitched in to support their fire department. Please show your support for the PCF program by attending this meeting.

B A C K G R O U N D
The current assessment of $34.10 for fire/emergency services in Wonder Valley is no longer enough to cover the expense of the service. County Fire has met with the community and offered several possible solutions to the problem (see Chamberlin's PowerPoint presentation, pages 21-25).
