Pending State Responsibility Area Fee
There is some recently approved legislation (AB 29) which will assess a fee of up to $150.00 on residents in rural areas that are protected by Cal Fire such as ours. You can find the text of the bill here and a description of the fee here. Two things you should know about this fee: 1) MVFD will receive no money from this fee, and 2) As a non-profit we cannot take a position on the legislation. We provide this information to inform our constituents, as we have received questions from a number of you.
CO Detectors Now Required in Homes

All single-family homes must be equipped with a detector on or before July 1, 2011.
