Fire Protection Services Town Hall Meeting

The Board of Directors of Siuslaw Valley Fire and Rescue and the Florence City Council will be holding a Town Hall meeting on Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Florence Event Center located at 715 Quince Street. The City of Florence will soon be making some important decisions about fire protection and emergency service for the residents inside the city limits of Florence. Input from the citizens in our community is valuable to this process. Staff from both Siuslaw Valley Fire and Rescue and the City of Florence will be presenting information on the history of fire protection services for the City properties, as well as the options for future fire service which the City is evaluating. In addition, we will share the results of the Community Attitude Survey that was forwarded to all citizens that reside within the city limits of Florence. You will note that the information in the survey was tabulated by a private firm.

For more information, please contact Fire Chief John Buchanan or the fire district’s Finance Officer, Janet Huston.
