2013 Fire District Elections: Held this Saturday February 16th from 2:00 until 9:00.
February 16, 2013 There are two individuals running for commisioner: Dan O'Grady and Jacqueline Bennett. The 2013 budget will also need to be voted on. There is also a request for two(2) new fire apparatus. The reason for this purchase request would be to save on the huge chunk of our current budget that we keep putting into fixing the trucks. Other reasons include, but are not limited to: enhanced safety features such as airbags, rescue tools that are required for todays new cars, reduce the size of our fleet(but keep our current ISO rating), and new updated tools that we haven't replaced in about 20 years.

We understand the state of the economy and we wouldn't ask for anything that isn't needed, but please know, we have done our best to work with what we have for the past 12+ years. Eastamptons fire tax has remained one of the lowest in the county for many years. To figure out what this would cost you, we figured that the estimated cost on a $250,000 home would be an estimated $48 a year for a ten year period.
