From: Terry Maher <br />To: GRP -City Council <br />Subject: Redwood City Fire Department <br />Date: Monday, October 26, 2020 12:02:56 PM <br />®❑ <br />Dear City Council Members, <br />I am writing to implore you all to reconsider the recent budget cuts <br />proposed for the Redwood City Fire Department. Fire and public <br />service calls are not the place to compromise the health and safety of <br />our citizens. Yes, they respond to fires, but are also the first responders <br />in emergencies. <br />I know first hand what the fire department can do as I had to call 911 <br />this summer when my husband became more despondent and I could <br />not get him to the ER on my own. The quick response, professional <br />and caring individuals helped me to stay calm and got him to the ER <br />for care. <br />The unprecedented fire season has Californians on high alert as fires <br />pop up all around us. There are embers in the air and can start fires any <br />place or any time on the drought parched land. Please do not add to <br />the stress of a terrible situation by cutting the funds to the fire <br />department. <br />There is so much growth in RWC and we need to know the <br />infrastructure, including the fire department are solidly in place. <br />Please work as our community leaders to keep us safe, provide the <br />service we expect and deserve from our tax dollars. <br />Respectfully yours, <br />Terry Maher <br />Terry Maher <br />TAX PAYER! <br />I VOTE! <br />Live, Laugh, Love and Learn every day <br />
