Why the Levy Was Needed
The previous annual fire fee remained unchanged since 2016. During that time, the Seven Hills community experienced significant residential growth, along with commercial growth, resulting in steadily increasing demands on emergency services.
Today's fire service extends well beyond fighting structure fires. Our firefighters respond to medical emergencies, vehicle accidents, hazardous conditions, rescue incidents, storm-related emergencies, public service calls, and many other situations requiring immediate response.
At the same time, the cost of operating a modern fire department has continued to rise. Fire apparatus, protective equipment, maintenance, fuel, medical supplies, training, insurance, and facility expenses have all increased substantially over the past decade.
The approved levy provides funding that helps the department continue meeting these challenges while maintaining reliable emergency services for the citizens of Seven Hills.
How Levy Funds Support Your Fire Department
Revenue generated through the Fire Levy helps support many of the essential services that keep Seven Hills Fire District prepared to respond when our community needs us most.
Funding supports areas including:
-
Expand paid staffing during peak daytime hours to improve response capability when volunteer availability is traditionally lower.
-
Plan for a future fire station location to better serve our growing district as development and service demands continue to increase.
-
Improve emergency response times through strategic investments in personnel, equipment, and operational readiness.
-
Enhance emergency services across our growing district by providing the resources needed to meet increasing call volume and community needs.
-
Maintain and replace fire apparatus, equipment, and firefighter protective gear to ensure safe and reliable operations.
-
Support firefighter training, certifications, and ongoing readiness to provide the highest level of service to our community.
-
Invest in facility improvements, maintenance, and future capital projects that strengthen long-term emergency response capabilities.
These investments strengthen the department's ability to safely and effectively serve our growing community.
