As the EMS medical director and as a resident of Clark County, I urge you to support critical fire and EMS measures on the ballot. Fire departments have seen a 25 percent call volume increase in five years; most calls are for EMS. Rising costs and a national paramedic shortage strain our services.
The levies restore funding to previous levels; they are vital for meeting demand. Bonds for Camas and Washougal will replace outdated fire stations. Supporting these measures ensures our responders are well-equipped and staffed to protect our community. Vote yes to preserve life-saving services.
