User:Storit/Lebanon Fire District

New article name Lebanon Fire Department was established by City Charter in 1884. The first Fire Chief of the department has been lost to history. The fire department remained an entity of the City of Lebanon until 1986, when then Fire Chief Larry Arnold, put the issue before votes to form the Lebanon Fire District. Voters approved the measure and on January 1, 1987 Lebanon Fire District became it's own special taxing district and was no longer a department of the city. A Board of Fire Commissioners was elected by voters to oversee management of the district. The Board's responsibilities include appointing the Fire Chief, setting district policies, and budgeting.
