Several Clark County levy, bond measures on fall ballot to support fire departments

(The Center Square) – The early summer heat shows no signs of letting up across the Pacific Northwest, and there's no rain in sight.

That has fire managers on high alert and fire districts asking voters to do their part to help come Aug. 6, in the form of levy funding.

In Clark County, the primary ballot has several levy and bond measures for fire districts and city fire departments, including Fire District 3, which is asking voters for a levy lid lift which would increase property taxes.

“Washington state fire districts are limited to 1% increases annually, without a lid lift,” District 3 Fire Chief Scott Sorenson said.
