The Voorhees Fire District Election will be held on Saturday, Feb. 16. Any Voorhees resident who is a registered voter will have the opportunity to cast a ballot. One seat on the five-member board of fire commissioners will be decided. Fire commissioners are elected for three-year terms.
This year’s candidates are Gerard Slack and Vaughn Vandegrift.
The election will also give residents an opportunity to vote on the Fire District Budget. Last year, this budget comprised 4.7 percent of your tax bill.
The polls will be open from 2 to 9 p.m. The three voting locations are Kresson Fire Station at 423 Cooper Road, Kirkwood Fire Station at 2002 South Burnt Mill Road and the Ashland Presbyterian Church at 33 East Evesham Road.
If you have questions about your voting location, call 783–6630, ext. 0.
We are fortunate to have one of the finest fire departments in South Jersey. We also appreciate the efforts of our volunteer firefighters who give their time to support the department.
