What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Adair Rural Fire Protection District in Benton County is asking voters to approve a 25-year bond to purchase new equipment. This bond would raise property taxes by $0.40 per $1,000 of assessed property value. District Chief Aaron Harris stated that the current fleet is aging, with the main fire engine being 24 years old.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The bond funds are intended to purchase a new primary fire engine and specialized wildland equipment, which Harris noted would be easier to repair than the current aging fleet. The district covers 18 square miles, including Adair Village and the Coffin Butte Landfill.
