On December 13, 2022, the Brinnon Fire Commission voted on two resolutions asking Jefferson County to place two measures on the ballot lifting the levy lid for both EMS and Fire for Jefferson County Fire Protection District #4.

Prop 1 & 2  will allow the District to maintain and improve the current level of emergency medical and fire services. The District will also use the revenue from this levy to improve emergency medical services and fire services as call volumes increase. 

The current levy rate is inadequate to support continuing levels of service.  The District has seen a 132% increase in calls over the last 10 years while maintaining the same budget without an increase. 

Jefferson County approved the resolutions and put them on the February 14, 2023 Special Election ballot as Proposition 1 & 2. 

• PROP 1:  The fire levy on a $250,000 assessed valuation residence will not exceed $375.00 yearly or approximately an increase of $11.67 monthly for Fire protection and Emergency Medical Services.
• PROP 2:  The EMS levy on a $250,000 assessed valuation residence will not exceed $125.00 yearly or approximately an increase of $2.92 monthly for Emergency Medical Services.
