Upcoming Vote on Firefighter Safety Gear Funding at Doyle Fire District #1

Doyle Fire District #1 in Cheektowaga, Erie County, New York, will hold a special election on June 4, 2024. The election will occur at the district's firehouse on William Street from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The special election is to vote on a proposal by the Board of Fire Commissioners to fund personal protective equipment for the fire district. The proposal involves allocating about $265,000 through a bond or installment purchase agreement. This method helps spread the cost over time.

If voters approve the plan, the district will use the funds to buy essential protective gear for firefighters, enhancing their safety during operations. The financing could be spread over up to 20 years, making the payments manageable.
