Voters to decide if Northshore Fire will merge with Woodinville Fire & Rescue
Northshore Firefighters Local 2459 said the merger does not boost emergency services, reduces firefighter wages, and doesn’t save tax dollars. Author: Brit Moorer (KING5) Updated: 5:47 AM PDT April 27, 2021
WOODINVILLE, Wash. Voters in Kenmore and Lake Forest Park will decide in a special election Tuesday if the Northshore Fire Department will merge with Woodinville Fire & Rescue.
The firefighters union doesn’t support the idea.
”It s a better deployment model for us, no one loses a job,” said Northshore Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief Doug McDonald.
McDonald said Prop 1 will allow for more efficient use of resources.
