Voters on Tuesday night defeated a tax measure to pay for the Rossville Area Fire Protection District station north of Rossville by a 13-vote margin.

Dean Grimes, president of the Rossville Area Fire Protection District board, said that because the vote was so close, the board will definitely consider asking voters again in the April consolidated election to consider a property-tax increase.
