�. Those of us who live in Upper County know how access and traffic is affected by a 2 to 3 foot <br />snowfall, the logistics and reality of timely snow removal. It can be 2 or 3 days before the County plows <br />us out It also can take that long or longer for private roads to get plowed out. <br />This proposal seems very problematic when it comes to snow removal. If these are seasonal or <br />recreation properties, drive ways are not plowed out unless the owner is there. <br />Additionally, on a Friday night, when friends show up with trucks and snowmobile trailers roads <br />quickly do and will be blocked. This is a real nightmare when we are trying to respond to a serious <br />situation. <br />We have had to use our own personal equipment, in the past, to plow access for Medic One and hand <br />shovel snow for access to homes for medical calls. <br />This proposal seems very unclear of the types of structures that would be built Town house style <br />apartments or multi story structures would necessitate a ladder engine which we currently do not have. <br />We do not have space at our current facility to house a ladder truck nor do we have property to add an <br />additional bay. <br />Again, we are a small rural fire department proud of our record and the service we provide to Kittitas <br />County, the Easton Community and the traveling public on Interstate 90. <br />We must address these issues and not tie the hands of the Easton Fire Department when it comes to <br />serving and protecting our community. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Easton Fire <br />#3 <br />r r4 -C, <br />A� E �sl� ►z���-f- # 7 �' z z- <br />4Chns <br />elgeso , Assi Fire Chief <br />Easton Fire District #3 <br />2 <br />
