The community covers 29 square miles, according to HOA board member Gerald Dotson. The proposed fire district would cover Rimrock Meadows and nearby areas.Dotson said there are roughly 2,100 parcels in the Rimrock Meadows community and only 1,700 are owned by either full-time or seasonal residents. There are 12-15 current full-time residents. Only registered voters in the Rimrock Meadows community and nearby areas voted on the measure.The idea for a fire district stemmed from the HOA board, which began the petition that would later get the proposition on the ballot for the General Election."It's fun to watch when a community starts engaging with one another and working towards a common goal," Dotson said.He emphasized the importance of a fire district for Rimrock Meadows and the surrounding areas."It is a significant degree of relief," he said. "My wife and I have had to evacuate it twice now, for a couple of days ... So, for the residents, yes, having a fire district is a significant relief."</div></body>
