Why our community needs an emergency services district

As a captain of Columbus Volunteer Fire Department, I have the privilege of serving our community alongside a dedicated group of volunteers who consistently go above and beyond to ensure the safety and well-being of our community.

Their unwavering commitment, selflessness, and tireless efforts are the foundation of our fire departments, and it is an honor to work with such courageous individuals who embody the true spirit of service.

While our commitment is unwavering, the reality is that our resources are stretched thin. Ensuring the safety and well-being of the community is a responsibility that must be taken seriously. It is time for our community to explore a long-term solution to protect everyone: the creation of an Emergency Services District (ESD).
