The document proposes building a fire station for the Desert Shores community. It notes that the small town of 1,000 residents is located next to the Salton Sea and currently lacks adequate fire protection, as evidenced by the author's garage burning down 20 minutes before firefighters arrived. A survey found that 90% of residents want a fire station, 30% would volunteer, and 75% feel unsafe without better fire coverage, to reduce wildfire risks and protect the local environment.
