Fire district letter to Teton County commissioners on the 911 review

Fire Chief Mike Maltaverne emailed the letter to Chairman Brad Wolfe on Sept. 29, 2026, and copied county and city officials.

What's in it

• The district "will step back from conducting and funding" the assessment, citing a "lack of transparency, lack of effective communications, and a lack of coordination and collaboration."
• It calls the county's added staff, infrastructure and software upgrades, and new medical and fire dispatch procedures, "steps in the right direction."
• It asks for an advisory committee of stakeholders, full use of medical and fire dispatch procedures, and a revised 911 service agreement between the district and the county.
• It remains open to an independent assessment "should there be demonstrated commitment and full cooperation from all parties, including the Sheriff's Office and County Administration."
