The Meridale Fire District is looking for a dedicated community member to step up and serve on our Board of Fire Commissioners!
What does a Fire Commissioner do?
Fire Commissioners are the elected or appointed community leaders who oversee the management and financial health of the fire district. In short, commissioners handle the business side of keeping our fire department running strong. Responsibilities include:
Budget & Finance: Helping manage the district budget to ensure taxpayers' dollars are used efficiently to fund vital equipment, gear, and operations.
Governance & Policy: Setting district policies, overseeing district operations, and ensuring compliance with local and state guidelines.
Community Advocacy: Representing the residents of our district and ensuring our volunteer firefighters have the tools, apparatus, and station support they need to protect our home.
Requirements:
Must reside full-time within the Meridale Fire District.
A strong commitment to supporting our local emergency services and community.
No prior firefighting experience required—just a desire to serve!
If you care about the future of our fire department and want to make a direct impact on public safety in Meridale, we want to hear from you.
