Restoring Boonville Fire Department
📜 PETITION TO RESTORE FAIR AND UNBIASED FIRE SERVICES CONTRACTS IN YADKIN COUNTY
To the Yadkin County Board of Commissioners:
We, the undersigned residents, taxpayers, and community members of Yadkin County, respectfully demand that the County Board:
- Immediately cease any actions that threaten to cancel or withhold funding from the Boonville Volunteer Fire Department (VFD).
- Restore or renegotiate the Boonville Fire Services contract in good faith, based solely on the department’s ability to provide essential emergency services.
- Prioritize public safety and transparency in all decisions related to emergency services, and make all communications, motives, and contractual negotiations available for public review.
We believe that:
- Withholding emergency fire services funding is a betrayal of public trust, and a risk to community safety.
- Fire departments exist to serve the people
- Yadkin County leaders are entrusted with the responsibility to act in the best interest of public health and safety, without favoritism, retaliation, or bias.
This petition is a call for accountability, fairness, and immediate corrective action.
We urge the Board of Commissioners to:
- Reinstate a fair, performance-based contract with Boonville VFD.
- Commit to unbiased oversight of all Yadkin County fire service districts.
- Hold a public hearing to explain the rationale behind these decisions.
The safety of our families and our community must come first.
Why is this important?
Signing this petition is a stand for fairness, transparency, and community safety. The Boonville Fire Station has been a trusted emergency service provider, protecting lives and property for years. The sudden cancellation of its contract puts public safety at risk and undermines trust in our local government.
By signing, you're:
- Protecting community safety: Boonville needs a reliable fire station with experienced responders.
- Demanding accountability: Taxpayers deserve a transparent explanation and a fair decision-making process.
- Supporting local first responders: Firefighters serve our town selflessly. They deserve support.
