Volunteers Needed

With our economy sluggish, real estate slow and tax revenues declining, local governments everywhere are facing serious challenges. If you live in Escondido City, your Police and Fire Departments need your support. In unincorporated neighborhoods in the county, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and Rincon Fire District provide your law enforcement and fire protection. 2008 will be a tough year for all of these agencies as state and local funding sources grow more scarce.
 
Many of us pay around $75 per year for fire protection out of our taxes and a similar amount for law enforcement. One way to increase these services is higher taxes, which no one really wants. Another way is for hundreds of people
to volunteer to assist fire, police and Sheriff personnel by joining CERT, Neighborhood Watch FireSafe and other neighborhood groups.
