10. Firefighters and Cancer
“Firefighting is a dangerous profession, and a growing body of research and data shows the contributions that job-related exposures have in chronic illnesses, such as cancer and heart disease. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recently undertook two large studies focused on firefighter cancer and concluded that firefighters face a 9 percent increase in cancer diagnoses, and a 14 percent increase in cancer-related deaths, compared to the general population in the U.S.”

18. How Much is it Going to Cost Me?
The Fire District has secured contributions from the Developers in the area totaling to $1 Million dollars, reducing the total cost by approximately 10%. The District secured the property for the project at zero cost.
Based on a 20 year Bond for $9.2 million, originally at $10.2 million, at a 3.65% estimated interest rate, the tax rate impact will be approximately $1.93 per 1,000 of Assessed Value.
For example, for the average house assessed at $35,000, the tax increase would be approximately $67 per year (35 X 1.93).
The projects equate to an average of $5.60 a month for an average home assessed at $35,000.
