A look at Fire Protection District #27 Commissioner candidate, Tom Brice

Candidate question and answer

Have you ever been a firefighter? If so, for how long?


Yes, for 25 years.


If the $2.4 million levy fails in November, will it be on the ballot again? If it ultimately fails, what will you do to ensure the district still has adequate emergency services?


1. Yes (It will be on ballot again if fails). 2. We will still have adequate emergency services and will try again in the future.


How would you like to see fireworks handled in the future?


We are a King County fire department and go by their codes.


What are the issues facing the Fall City Fire Department now?


We would try to see them in advance and deal with them before our services would be disrupted.


Why should the people of District 27 elect you?


I have been a commissioner since 1989. In the last 34 years, I’ve been on many committees to purchase land, construct buildings, specify truck design and develop training programs. I understand the needs, priorities and legal requirements of the fire department.
