Hernando County fire fighters have a voice – and we’ll continue to use it
Hernando Sun (Feed)
When you call 911, does politics matter? Jason Haas, President of Hernando County Professional Fire Fighters Local 3760, has a direct message for our community. He says Hernando County's growth demands more resources for our over 300 firefighters, but political debates are sidelining critical issues like staffing and equipment.
Local 3760 backs candidates who prioritize public safety, not party lines. Haas argues local leaders aren't always focused on what truly keeps you safe and equips those who respond to your worst days. Are Spring Hill and wider Hernando County truly getting the emergency services they deserve?
