When that fire, disaster, accident or injury that risks your home, family and/or life occurs, how much will emergency response time matter? Reduced response times help to save lives. A second Duvall Fire 45 station will make a difference and provide community-wide benefits for the Duvall community as growth in housing and traffic and an aging population of long-term residents increase the demand for emergency support.

For east of the city, response times will be shorter, and more residences will be within 5 miles of a manned station, making properties that were once uninsurable become insurable and possibly reducing homeowners’ insurance premiums.  With the increasing threat of wildfires this station will also help safeguard our community and protect homes and forested lands.

City residents will benefit from better coverage for the growing population and higher potential for accidents and emergencies.  The anticipated growth of Duvall proper will be a challenge for a single station to cover.  A second station in the district provides a quicker response to additional emergencies than neighboring departments can provide.

Please support the second Duvall Fire 45 station to make our community safer. It matters for everyone.
