The Spokesman-Review

So many changes have taken place over the past few years. One thing has stayed the same. Your emergency medical response from the Spokane Fire Department. When an emergency occurs and you dial 911, within minutes they arrive and bring trained paramedics and EMTs to your door.

We never know when we may need their help in a life or death situation. This stresses the importance of maintaining your current coverage. April 27 you have the opportunity to renew this service that continues to do an exceptional job for the citizens of Spokane.

Please let’s keep our community under the care of the Spokane Fire Department when a medical emergency occurs. Vote yes to renew the EMS levy April 27.
