FIRE DISTRICT: Taxpayer wants truth

| November 5, 2025 1:00 AM

We have resided most of our lives up in Idaho and the Garwood Fire District. The Fire District is now asking for a permanent levy and that is something we just cannot support. Although we often do support the fire departments, we also feel there is an ongoing Garwood Fire Station on Pope Road cover up or the withholding of all its background surrounding the old unfinished, unmanned fire station needing to now end. This never finished station was promised to us back in 2023 if we just passed that levy back then.

The Fire District even asked for and received grants for firefighters to man the never finished station. The Fire District took the grants and our tax monies and then had a (secret) falling out with the fire station contractors’ extreme modular buildings in Canada. These same Canadian modular station building contractors have had many very happy Fire Districts work with them throughout America.
