The seven candidates for the Evergreen Fire/Rescue board of directors are passionate about the community and the fire department, and they answered questions about wildfire mitigation, replacing Station 1, grants, firefighter morale and more.
Three seats are open on the EFR board. Two incumbents — Jeff deDisse and Mike Gregory — are running to retain their seats, and they are being challenged by five others: Kenny Erhardt, Wayne Hazeldine, Julie Ann Courim, Stacey Ballinger and John Putt. All have been heavily involved with EFR either as former volunteer firefighters or with Evergreen’s Community Wildfire Protection Plan, and one was a dispatcher for Evergreen and later Jeffcom.
On May 3, the Evergreen Fire Protection District election will be held at the Administration Building for in-person voting. Completed absentee ballots must be received by the Designated Election Official or Election Judge by 7:00pm on Election Day.
