Serving Northwest Fresno County for 100 Years

Dear Editor,

Measure B is a 30 year contract with the City of Fresno, providing fire protection services to North Central Fire District.

Measure B will close two of North Central’s stations. How does closing two of our stations in populated areas improve response time?

The proposed contract by the City of Fresno shows that there will be 11 firemen on duty, far short of 32 firement. The North Central firemen could lose out.

The City of Fresno can terminate the contract if revenue streams are limited. Keep our tax dollars in Fresno County, not the City of Fresno.

Please consider all the facts. Read your sample ballot. When you vote, vote no on Measure B.

Vote for Cheryl Belloumini.
