CHANDLER — A fire department that serves unincorporated areas around Chandler is set to hold a special election this fall.
In April, the board of directors for the South County Fire & Medical District voted unanimously to call for a special election to seek voter approval to issue bonds for the purposes of investing in emergency response vehicles, purchasing emergency equipment and making other capital expenditures to improve fire and emergency coverage, according to a news release.
The $22.9 million proposal will be considered by the voters in a special election set for Nov. 4.
