ATTENTION PLEASE

The North Bannock County Fire District has found it necessary to form its own fire department in order to ensure fire protection for the residents living in the North Bannock County Fire District.

Where: Red Lion Hotel Bannock Room

The purpose of the meeting is to inform voters of the current status of the volunteer fire department, to explain the need for the levy increase and answer any questions that voters may have concerning the proposed vote and the fire department.
