Coming up in the November general election, Prop. 1 authorizes the Valley Regional Fire Authority to build a new fire station in the northern part of VRFA’s service area, to move and rebuild Station 38 in Pacific to just south of the Algona city limits, and rebuild its headquarters at Station 31 in Auburn. If approved, Prop. 1 would also provide funds for the VRFA to build a training facility and pay for improvements to support services and maintenance facilities to benefit its entire service area.
