Greg Timinsky is the Fire Chief of the Star/Middleton Fire District and is running a levy on the upcoming ballot. Star has grown roughly 140% over the last five years, and the budget for the fire district has only grown roughly 40%. Taxing in Idaho works differently than other surrounding states, so although there are many more rooftops, the budget has not grown in step. Greg came on to explain a couple misconceptions regarding the fire service. Enjoy!

The Ranch Podcast is the premier source for long format interviews and information in the Treasure Valley and great state of Idaho. The Boise area is home to many counties and ways of life. It’s also home to many law enforcement agencies, like Ada County and Canyon county Sheriff offices, Idaho State Police, Eagle Police Department, Meridian Police Department, and many more. The school systems in the area are also quite diverse. Boise school district and West Ada School District, though right next to each other, are quite different. Ada County is also home to our state capital and many of our elected officials. 

The Ranch Podcast is shot just north of Eagle, Idaho.
