Two incumbents and one newcomer will serve on the Elk Creek Fire Protection District board for the next four years.

The Elk Creek Fire board meeting on April 13 became heated as board members and attendees disagreed about the board’s handling of the proposed Shadow Mountain Bike Park emergency services needs and potential consolidation of three fire departments.

Candidates for the Elk Creek Fire Protection District board of directors provided insight into their stances on some of the issues affecting the district at a candidates forum on April 6.

Candidate forums are planned for both the Elk Creek and Foothills fire departments in April, co-sponsored by the Canyon Courier, in advance of the May 2 election.
