Voters in the Three Mile Fire District will decide whether to approve a property tax increase to fund six full-time firefighter or EMT positions. The district, which serves about 4,500 people near Stevensville and Florence, is requesting an additional 34 mills. This levy is projected to raise approximately $710,000 annually.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The district states the full-time positions are needed because call volume has increased 88% over the past decade. While the tax increase is estimated to cost about $46 a year for a $100,000 home, the department suggests improved fire protection ratings could eventually lower some homeowners’ insurance costs.
