What happens when a community's fire department has to step in with limited resources to provide advanced life support? Join us as we sit down with April Griffin, Vice President of the Board of Commissioners for Travis County ESD-2, the Pflugerville Fire Department. April shares her incredible journey from her start on the Board in 2017 to facing the challenge of Travis County EMS pulling out, and the critical role she played in introducing advanced life support transport services. She also opens up about the formation of ESD-17 for dedicated funding and addresses the community's concern about the unelected status of the Board of Commissioners, all while emphasizing their dedication to serving Pflugerville residents.

Can a petition lead to the defunding of essential fire department services? In this episode, we explore the heated debate over Proposition A, which threatens to remove sales tax revenue and defund the Pflugerville Fire Department. April Griffin, speaking as a private citizen, discusses the ongoing litigation surrounding this issue, including the Board’s efforts to validate petition signatures. She passionately argues against Proposition A, urging the community to vote against it to ensure quality EMS services continue. Discover the high stakes involved and how you can engage with the Board of Commissioners to support your local fire department.
