Do You Live in 
Unincorporated Santa Cruz County?

Then you're at risk of LOSING your LOCAL 
FIRE and EMERGENCY services!

Lost fire and emergency services:
* Jeopardize the safety of your family & home 
* Increase or eliminate your fire insurance 
* Lower the value of your property

The unincorporated areas of Santa Cruz County are serviced by five fire stations: Burrell, Corralitos, Saratoga Summit, Big Creek,and Fall Creek(BonnyDoon).  These stations are dependent upon monies provided under 'CSA 48, County Fire".  The county has determined that they are not obligated under law to provide fire and emergency services.

With tight budgets they could vote on December13th to shut down the Fire Stations.

                     Take Action now!
