On behalf of the men and women of the Mukilteo Fire Department, I want to sincerely thank the voters of our community for their renewal of our EMS Levy.

Continuation of this EMS Levy provides a stable and predictable source of funding for our department. It enables us to maintain our staffing to keep up with call volumes and fund emergency medical equipment needs.

Many people have worked hard to make this levy successful; it was a tremendous team effort.

We realize that your confidence in our sound financial operations is our foundation and the key to a positive emergency medical response outcome.

Our department administration and staff are mindful of the economic challenges that we all are currently confronting.

I want to assure you that your fire department personnel will be most careful with the expenditure of your levy dollars, and I know we will prove worthy of the trust you have placed in our department.

We stand committed to continuing our hard work in maintaining excellence and celebrating successful emergency medical services.

Your continued support makes our community safer and is part of what makes Mukilteo such a great place to live.
