Editor, The Herald:
As president of the Haven Lake
Property Owners Association,
which has more than 400 property
owners, I and my board of direc-
tors fully support the funding
measure for Mason County Fire
District 2 which encompasses an
area of approximately 100 square
miles.
Although we cannot speak for
all property owners in our associa-
tion, many are keenly aware of the
importance of having the Collins
Lake Fire Station permanently
staffed.
As you are well aware the popu-
lation is increasing in the Tahuya
lakes area. Many of our current
residents have reached their senior
years and when medical emergen-
cies occur for them, time is usually
of the essence. The four- to five-
minute trip from the Collins Lake
Fire Station as opposed to the 12-
to 13-minute trip from Belfair can
mean the difference between liv-
ing and dying (response times are
an estimate and calculated to the
south end of Haven Lake using a
non-emergency vehicle).
Fast medical response for the
Tahuya lakes area is one of the
aspects of the importance of the
Collins Lake Fire Station. Also,
during the dry season the danger
of fire in the Tahuya lakes forest
area can be high and a quick re-
sponse by firefighting personnel
not only is essential it is critical.
A five-minute response time as
opposed to a 13-minute response
can mean the difference between
a small burn area and an out of
control situation. The upcoming
funding measure will also allow
the fire district to replace vehicles
and eliminate the need for a fu-
ture bond.
The bond that was passed by
voters in 1999 this year costl
erty owners 18 cents per $1,{
assessed property valuation,
a $40,000 assessed property
that works out to $7.20
That bond will be
December of 2007. The
funding, measure will be
ed with an increase of 15
$1,000 of assessed property
ation which is a reduction
percent (with a $40,000 ass i
property value it works out
$6 p.er year). This proposed
ing measure, in our opinion, d
save lives and property, a
mbney well spent.
