Jim Bowers asks residents at The Pizza Factory Colfax what is hardest about growing up. Jessica Glazner from 8 Placer Hills Elementary School shares her view on adulthood.
The Placer Hills Fire Protection District covering Weimar Applegate and Meadow Vista seeks voter approval of measures F and G. Measure F would levy 49 per year via property taxes to fund two new firefighter paramedic positions and raise current pay. The district notes current apprentices earn minimum wage and lack benefits while full time members earn 40 to 50 percent less than peers in nearby agencies.
Ian Gow, chief of the Placer Hills Fire Protection District, says weak wages drive 90 percent turnover over five to six years. He notes the district staffs engines with cross trained paramedics unlike neighboring departments, arguing higher funding yields faster life saving response times and urges a "F" and "G" vote to protect lives and homes. Tim Robinson, Meadow Vista Station 1 captain, comments.
