Keep California City Fire Department

The Issue

Signatures Needed

The situation in our city government has been turbulent, to put it mildly. While I appreciate the council correcting their mistake on adding a paramedic to the engine, it did little to restore confidence in the decisions being made around public safety.

Outsourcing our fire services is a major, irreversible decision with long-term consequences for our community. The public deserves a voice.

I believe residents should decide whether we keep our local fire department or outsource our fire services — not just a rushed vote inside City Hall.

If you agree that public safety decisions belong to the public, please sign.

Our fire department. Our choice.
