Ensure Adams County firefighters and paramedics have the resources to protect our community when seconds count.
Issue 6E is at the bottom of your ballot.
You call Adams County firefighters and paramedics when seconds count.
Adams County firefighters and paramedics respond quickly with the equipment, training, and experience to save you and your family and protect our community.
Every call — a house fire, a crash on the highway, a cardiac arrest, a wildland fire at the county's edge — depends on having enough trained responders, reliable engines and ambulances, and stations positioned where help can arrive fast.
Recent state legislative changes have slashed taxpayer-approved assessment rates and capped annual revenue. These dangerous cuts are jeopardizing the safety of our community.
As Adams County grows, demand for fire, EMS, rescue, and disaster response keeps rising — emergency call volume in 2026 is already surpassing previous years.
Fire engines, ambulances, cardiac monitors, protective gear, and rescue tools all cost significantly more than they did two decades ago — and all require ongoing investment to stay safe and reliable.
The fire district relies primarily on property tax revenue, which is squeezed by legislative decisions on assessment rates and revenue caps — while service demands grow regardless.
For more than 17 years, the district has not asked voters to increase funding — while earning national accreditation and one of the highest public protection classifications available.
Supports the staffing, stations, and apparatus needed to keep emergency response fast as Adams County grows — because where responders are located, and how quickly they reach you, makes a critical difference.
Keeps engines, ambulances, medical equipment, and rescue tools maintained, current, and ready — so firefighters and paramedics can respond safely and effectively every time.
Funds training for today's emergencies — electric vehicle and battery fires, hazardous materials, severe weather, and complex medical calls — plus health programs that protect the people who protect us.
Adams County Fire Rescue is a nationally accredited district serving a fast-growing community — from structure fires and highway rescues to wildland response on the county's open edges.
