RE: CONSOLIDATED FIRE DISTRICT
Dear Mr. Torlakson:
We are extremely disturbed to hear of the potential closure of Lafayette's Fire Station #16,
located in the Happy Valley Area. We recognize and understand the fiscal constraints you are
working under, however, neither the City of Lafayette nor Consolidated Fire District voted as
other districts did on the issue of consolidation.
It is unfair for Consolidated Fire District to subsidize fire protection in other areas of the
county. Public safety is the No. 1 priority and we should .fund this priority through all funding
means available.
We urge you to keep this station open and maintain current levels of service, as we work
together over the next few months to find mutually beneficial solutions on this matter of crucial
importance. The Lafayette/Orinda area is similar to the Oakland East Bay Fire region. We
should not knowingly put further in jeopardy the health, safety and property of citizens in this
community.
Sin rely, _
