I am totally FOR that. Wasn’t it at one time back in the 70’s and before called the “Leon County Fire Department”?

What is going on…TFD was a top rated FD 20 years ago. The COT gets all this Fire service fee money, manages the program and that gets us 71%? There’s not even a Blueprint project to address this and other basic FD service needs like new fire stations? And their solution is to spin the county residents off the first time the County Commission doesn’t rubber stamp another fee increase?

I’m out Mahan near FAMU and I’m aware of 3 major fires happening nearby, one in the Vineyards, one across from Edenfield, and one a mile past I-10 and they were all total losses. What exactly are we getting?
