An open letter to Sandoval County Commissioners and State Fire Marshal

I wanted to write and express my appreciation to you for listening to the concerns and views of the East Mountain community about the La Madera fire station. While our residences are far from yours, we treasure them as I know you treasure your own homes. And, we are so proud of our volunteer firefighters and what they have accomplished—they are part of the glue that holds our community together. Thank you for realizing that and allowing us to keep this precious resource.

I watched the entire Commission meeting this past week, and I want you to know that we greatly appreciate the time and energy you expend on our behalf as well as the entire Sandoval County. God be with you.

Dave Thompson, Sandia Park
