Firefighters and EMS Fund Assists With Local FL Fire Referendum

COLLIER COUNTY, Florida – Firefighters and EMS Fund assisted the Collier County Fire Association in advocating in favor of an August 28, 2018 referendum that would set a budget for the Collier County Fire Department for the first time since 2000.

Activists from Firefighters and EMS Fund partnered with the Collier County Fire Association in their effort to get the referendum passed. Firefighters and EMS Fund deployed 8,000 automated calls from Firefighters Association President Chris Spencer advocating in favor of the fire department budget referendum.

The referendum was rejected by Collier County voters on August 28, 2018.

When asked about his reaction to the unsuccessful referendum, President Spencer expressed his disappointment but commended the efforts of Firefighters and EMS Fund: “You left no stone unturned and took it upon yourselves to help us,” said Spencer. “We enjoyed looking at the data elements you provided us… we are immensely grateful for your help and what you came in to do.”
