Lehigh Acres Fire Dept -- The Good / Bad and the Ugly

The Lehigh Acres Fire District, a special taxing district, was created by a special act of the Florida Legislation in 1963. Its charter may be amended only by special act of the legislature. The governing authority of the District is a board composed of five members elected from residents of the District. During the past 4 decades we have been a part of the many advances in fire and life safety in our region.

Fire board has wasted money

To The Editor,

The water wars are starting in Lehigh Acres … the current fire board would not listen to the citizens of Lehigh Acres months ago. Do you know how much money the board has wasted on water engineers and wasted time delays? All of these delays cost taxpayers MONEY! Wake up members of the board and start thinking outside the box and stop gambling on something that this board does not understand.The current fireboard needs to read the Lee Plan (at Lee County’s website) and the Florida statues that deal with Water and Sewer. An education on the water and sewer laws would enlighten the them all.
