The Spokane County Fire District 4 Board of Fire Commissioners unanimously approved a $5.5 million operating budget for 2016 at its meeting last month. Most of the district’s funding – approximately $5.3 million – comes from two levies for fire and emergency medical service (EMS). The district also anticipates receiving a small amount (less than $50,000) from new construction and an estimated $150,000 for assisting the state during wildland fire season.
