NINE MILE POINT FIRE DEPT.

VOTE YES FOR THE 7TH FIRE DISTRICT MILLAGE RENEWAL ON MAY 1, 2010

THANK YOU for once again supporting us and voting 90% in favor of mileage renewal. We will continue to provide Fire Protection Services to our best ability. Once again THANKS for your support

VOTE YES FOR THE 7TH FIRE DISTRICT MILLAGE RENEWAL ON MAY 1, 2010

On May 1, 2010, the fire departments of the 7th district of Jefferson Parish will once again ask for your vote and support. The 7th fire district is made up of the Avondale Volunteer Fire Co. #1, Bridge City Volunteer Fire Co. #1, Herbert Wallace Memorial Volunteer Fire Co., Live Oak Manor Volunteer Fire Co. #1 and Nine Mile Point Volunteer Fire Co. #1. These five departments cover the area from the City of Westwego line westward to the Jefferson / St. Charles Parish line.

All the fire departments in the 7th district have a combination of paid and volunteer personnel. The paid personnel are on duty for 24 hours a day and respond the emergency equipment to the scene of the emergency, whether it is a fire, medical call or any other type of assistance call. The dedicated volunteers we have respond to the same emergency calls in their personal vehicles and receive no compensation from the department for the job they do.

At this time we would like to ask you for your support and “VOTE YES” to “RE-NEW” our 25 mills fire service tax. This is not a new tax, but a renewal of an existing tax. If you are now tax exempt, you will still, pay nothing. The tax monies collected are used to pay the salaries and benefits to our paid employees, maintain the fire equipment and fire stations, continue training of firefighting personnel and to purchase and maintain equipment for the firefighters.

The State of Louisiana insurance rates are based on your fire department’s rating. Right now your fire insurance rating is a class 3, which means you pay a lower rate for fire insurance on your property and business. The lower the number, the better the protection and the lower your insurance cost will be. The rating scale is from (1) one with lower rates, to (10) ten with higher rates. As you can see, you are on the lower end of the scale. With your ‘YES” vote and continued support on May 1, 2010, you will have the security in knowing that you did your part to insure that your fire department will continue operating to its highest capability.

At this time the 7th fire district fire departments would like to thank you for all the support you have shown throughout the years that we’ve had the pleasure of serving you. If you have any questions or concerns about this election to “RE-NEW” our 25 mills, please feel free to contact your local fire department. We are here for you!!!
