🔥 FELTON FIRE REVIVAL EVENT

Firewise Community Rally & Pizza Night!

Join your neighbors for an inspiring evening of firefighter enlightenment, free pizza, and the upcoming crucial choices in your power at the Felton Community Hall on August 16th, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.

It’s your chance to shape Felton’s future, protect our mountain homes and ensure the safety of our community.

All residents of Felton will likely be paying more to support the Felton fire station. The question is exactly how much, who will control the choice of the amount and how it's used.

Your Decisions That Will Shape Our Future
Felton residents face a crucial and urgent crossroads:
- Revitalize and modernize our standalone department—requiring strong leadership, fortified staff, and a new parcel tax to ensure 21st-century service. OR
- Merge into a larger regional fire district.
What’s at Stake?
- Revitalizing our standalone district means passing a new parcel tax, supporting leadership, and engaging more deeply and frequently as a community.
- Merging or contracting with another fire district are options.
Either option must ensure every call gets answered quickly, every volunteer gets fully trained, and every resident gets complete support.

Why Act Now?
- The Felton Fire Protection District is at a turning point. For decades, the budget has remained nearly flat while the response volume and operational costs have increased.
- The property tax formula has not kept up with inflation, cost of living, or the scale of wildfire risk.
How You Can Help
- Attend the August 16th Firewise Revival event!
- Show your support for a stronger Felton Fire — either path forward needs your voice and your vote.
- Stay informed, ask questions, and connect with your Firewise leaders, first responders, neighbors, and local service providers.
Felton’s story is not just about fire. It’s about community, pride, and choosing to build a safer, more resilient future—together.

As always, our events are meant to be fun, informative and advance our mission of increasing family safety, preserving home value and building community strength and resilience. No doom and gloom. The Felton Fire Revival event is free but we do need registrations so we know how much space and pizza to buy and plan for. Donations to help us offset the event costs are much appreciated.

Either path will require your support and your voice. This is your chance to hear the facts, meet the people responsible for the safety of our health and homes, and decide how Felton will protect itself in the years ahead.

Please do not sit this one out — your attendance, awareness and actions will determine the future of our fire district!
