• $25M would build new Pierce County fire station. Early election results are in (thenewstribune.com) — Fife Heights and nearby Fife residents are on track to get a new, safer fire station as early election results show strong support for Fire Protection District No. 10’s $25 million bond. The measure would replace the aging 1954 station, add modern decontamination units, expand space for vehicles and firefighters, and cost about $14 per month for a $600,000 home.
