Casey Fire District Referendum

Wednesday, 2 March 2016

     The Casey Fire Department is looking to make a change.
     When some voters in Clark County head to the polls this month they will be asked whether or not they support a fire protection proposition.
     The Casey Fire Department is looking to change into a fire protection district supported by tax dollars.
     Casey Fire Chief Jason Garver says transitioning the department into a protection district would provide a more consistent financial base for the entire Casey Fire Department service area.

     Garver says while the city fire department charges service calls outside city limits those payments do not generate enough revenue to support the fire department.
     Illinois' primary is Tuesday, March 15.
     If the proposition fails, Chief Garver says the department will have to reconsider how it operates and that could mean service reductions.
