After 911 all the firemen all across American heros. They still are. But apparently not in the eyes of the 29 Palms City Councilmembers. Tonight the 29 Palms Fire Department needs your support because it is being downsized and public safety of every business, structure, home, child and resident is being compromised.
Come to the meeting tonight and stand up for the fire department and stand up for 29. Tell the city to help fund the fire department before it is cut. The city council is out to lunch and out of touch. They need to rethink public safety.
