Welcome to

CMFPD Supporters

A citizens’ group working to guarantee our fire protection and emergency medical services on Cedar Mountain.

The property owners on Cedar Mountain and Duck Creek Village want to make sure the Fire Department continues to operate, providing us with the emergency medical services and fire protection we have come to expect. We all want to know that when and if we have to call 9-1-1, we can expect our firefighters and EMTs to respond from the fire stations on Cedar Mountain. We want our ambulance with our trained EMTs to show up on our door step when we have a medical emergency. And we want those things to happen as soon as humanly possible on this mountain. That is why we formed a citizens’ group. The group is called “CMFPD Supporters”.

CMFPD Supporters has done the research to determine which candidates agree to protect our fire department as it is operating now. We are endorsing 7 of the remaining 14 candidates running for the seven-member CMFPD Board of Directors that we know will fight to keep our emergency and medical services on Cedar Mountain.

The CMFPD Supporters citizens' group is endorsing candidates who concur with the following platform:

1) The continued operation of the CMFPD as it is currently organized.

2) Ensuring all firefighters continue to respond from the fire stations on Cedar Mountain. We do not want to wait for firefighters responding from Orderville, Glendale or Kanab.

3) Keeping all vehicles and equipment in the CMFPD fleet where they are currently located. We don't want the fleet sold off, reduced or eliminated.

4) Ensuring the ambulance is housed and the response initiates from fire station number one on Mammoth Creek Road on Cedar Mountain.

5) Continued wages will be paid to the CMFPD Fire Chief, Assistant Fire Chief and one firefighter/EMT.

6) Year-round emergency road access. The only purpose of snow removal is to provide emergency and medical services to the properties within the boundaries as stated in the CMFPD Charter.

7) Making sure our facilities and practices are maintained to guarantee the current Class 6 ISO Rating. That includes vehicles, trained personnel and infrastructure. Compromising the current level of training and vehicles would mean the loss of our current ISO rating which could result in an increase, or loss, of homeowner's insurance.

If you believe in the same same principles identified above, then you should vote for seven of the following candidates.

Bill King
Dick Murn
Bryan Romney
Mike Petullo
Sharon Adams
Hernan Garreaud
Butch O'Dell

THESE CANDIDATES ARE FULLY ENDORSED BY THE CEDAR MOUNTAIN FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF
