Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District Chief Don Mette will speak at a community forum 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 30, at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church on Cantova Way. Mette will begin the forum with a presentation about the fire district and the services it provides to Rancho Murieta.

Mette was in the community recently urging the Rancho Murieta Association to give the fire district land for an emergency-services radio tower. The RMA had sought to lease the land, which prompted an angry letter, and then the visit, from Mette.

Residents who attend the community forum will have the opportunity to question Mette and a representative from the Sheriff's Department. Refreshments will be provided. For information, call 566-4399.
