Welcome...
 This website has been developed by Citizens To Preserve Fire Protection. We are a group of Gresham residents concerned about public safety in our community and, in particular, fire protection and emergency medical services (EMS). On March 8, 2005, Gresham voters will be asked to decide whether or not to approve annexation of Gresham Fire & Emergency Services (GFES) into Multnomah County Fire District #10. Residents of District #10 will also be asked to approve their own annexation measure.

There are many positive reasons to vote YES on this measure, and we urge you to look around this website to see just how important this issue is to our community. You will see all the reasons why to support it. You will also see the names of many of the citizens and organizations that support it.

Failure of this measure would have a tremendous negative impact on both the citizens of Gresham and on the surrounding communities that rely on Gresham Fire & Emergency Services for emergency medical services, fire protection, rescue and extrication services, fire prevention, and much more!
Please... VOTE YES ON MARCH 8, 2005!

  • Gresham Fire & Emergency Services will no longer exist, and all services will then be provided by District #10.

  • Voters in Gresham and District #10 will elect the Board of Directors for the District.

  • No Gresham firefighters will lose their jobs; they will become employees of the Fire District.

  • Fire protection, rescue operations, and emergency medical services will continue uninterrupted.

  • The City of Gresham and District #10 will both reduce their property tax rates.

  • Residents of the Fire District will receive a high level of public safety services.

Fire District Annexation is a "Win-Win" Solution for the Entire Community!
