THANKYOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FEE ELECTION We are ecstatic to see the strong show of support provided by the community and look forward to working hard to earn every penny. THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!
PLEASE SUPPORT KVFD IN OUR UPCOMING ELECTION
The Kemah Volunteer Fire Department is requesting to increase our service fee in order to better protect our community. The department is working hard to keep our operating costs under control. However, increases in insurance, mandatory equipement certification, maintenance and fuel costs over the years have negatively impacted our ability to appropriately respond to issues that arise. A simple example is shown in our 2011 Property Inventory which lists 21 full sets of bunker gear for our organization currently boasting 31 members. Help us help you and vote yes to the Fire Department Fee increase proposition.
