To You All
Firefighter Staffing for our 'rapidly growing' Community - 'Mission Critical'
We are Gilroy Citizens and live in the LIONS CREEK community area by Luigi Aprea Elementary
school writing to show our support for this effort to provide needed investment for our Firefighters
and to help save this temporary location in such a prime response location!!
Many days/evenings I visit the Ascension Solarsano Middle School (close to the Fire Station)
location; park my truck and take my dog for walks all around Debell Park and Uvas Creek areas
close to the Temporary Fire Station.
It is a comfort and confidence feeling to wave to the Firefighters when they head out on a response
or return or just to see the small engine (sometime large) parked by the station ready to respond to
Community safety and security issues!!
SAVE THAT STATION AND MAKE FIREFIGHTER SUPPORT A VERY TOP PRIORITY for
our Rapidly Growing Communities and our priority Tax Dollars investments please.
Thank You for your support!
Nigel and Violet Johnson
