Financial Planning & Governance
2026 - Levy Transitions
The EMS 6-year Levy and 2016 UTGO Bond Tax Levy are scheduled to expire. Taxpayers will see the final bond payment in December. A new EMS Levy of $.50 per thousand was approved to begin in 2027.
2027 - Fiscal Security
The district will conclude payments for the 2018 LTGO Bond. This milestone marks a significant step in managing operational expenses and maintaining a sustainable credit profile for the Mossyrock area.
Operational Excellence
Managed by a full-time Fire Chief and administrative staff, the district is overseen by a locally elected Board of Fire Commissioners. We provide complete ALS and BLS services alongside rescue and fire response operations.
Grants & Support
The district is focusing on grants to aid in replacing expired fire personal protective equipment such as turnouts, fire helmets and fire boots.
This year, 2024, a big thanks to DNR for selecting our district to receive a 2015 DNR surplus truck to replace the 20+ year old smaller brush truck at the main fire station. DNR has also selected the district through a FEPP Program to provide funds in the amount of $3,500 for the 2015 newly acquired DNR truck to help equip with LED scene lighting, bumper guard and winch. In addition, a $7000 FEPP grant to add a front electric monitor to the recently acquired through an engine surplus program, USFS brush truck at Flynn Road substation. With these funds, both apparatuses will be able to provide increased scene safety and effectiveness against fires.
At the end of 2023, DNR facilitated the surplus loaner of a US Forest Service Type 3 fire truck to serve as a brush truck stationed at the district's Flynn Rd. substation.
A donation of canned emergency drinking water from Anheuser-Busch through a partnership with National Volunteer Fire Council to help keep responders hydrated as they battle wildfire season. On June 29th, 2023, a pallet of water was delivered by local Anheuser-Busch wholesaler partner, King Beverage. The water will help maintain firefighters’ hydration during long incidents or disasters such as wildfires, which is a major safety concern for fire districts.
Thanks to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in 2022, the district received grant funding, partnering with district funding to serve the community with a new ambulance, power load system, and updated emergency life monitoring equipment.
In 2020, the district was awarded a Community Development Block Grant by the Dept. of Commerce to build phase 2 of the fire station, including the meeting/training room, kitchen, mechanical/HVAC room, sleeping quarters, bathrooms & offices for the Chief and Administrative Assistant. This not only provides a great training space for the volunteers but also provides a kitchen and gathering room for the community to use.
