The Parker Fire District is a locally funded public safety district — not a city — built and maintained by the community it serves. Polling shows most residents believe local fire districts are already working well and see no clear need for major change.

 

Local taxpayers fund the equipment, staffing, and infrastructure that allow Parker firefighters to respond quickly and effectively when emergencies happen. Proposals to consolidate or annex services raise important questions about how those locally funded resources would be used.

 

Spreading equipment and personnel across a larger system does not create more capacity — it redistributes what already exists and can strain local coverage, increasing response times when every second matters.

 

Before irreversible decisions are made, Parker Fire District residents deserve transparency, facts, and a meaningful voice in decisions that affect their safety and tax dollars.
