Story County Fire District officials reported FY26 unaudited figures showing robust growth in revenues and a substantial fund balance earmarked for capital projects. Controller Jennifer McCain said general fund revenues were approximately $45.9 million against roughly $26 million in expenses, leaving a general fund balance near $37.9 million; capital spending in FY26 totaled about $4.1 million.
McCain emphasized that much of the balance is already planned for capital projects and that the district’s five‑year capital plan totals about $77 million, including new and upgraded stations, equipment and training facilities.
