In the last ten years the College Place Fire Station bond had the highest percent approval. This was due in part by a lot of hard work on the old station, showing the community that the sleeper/ education program worked. The clean up and remodeling of the soon to be discarded old city hall by volunteers from the whole valley and new administration in the department, was the spark the started a whole new fire service. Many thankless hours were spent traveling around to small community groups selling the new programs and service. The community has benefited in a fire and saftye service that is routinely called to help those neighbors that helped us.
