Fire Levy Ballot Question 2024
Spirit Lake Fire District personnel would like to thank our community for your support of our override levy and for all your kind messages and words. Unfortunately, we did not achieve the needed votes to pass it. The levy needed a 66.67% supermajority vote, and we received 56.9% votes in favor. Since we serve both Kootenai and Bonner Counties, the results were combined: 5,444 votes total with 3,100 votes in favor.
