The Montecito Association and the League of Women Voters will hold a Montecito Fire Protection District candidates forum at 4 p.m. Sept. 24 at the El Montecito Presbyterian Church, 1455 E. Valley Road in Montecito.

Sue Burrows will moderate the forum on behalf of the League of Women Voters. All eight candidates have indicated their plans to participate.

Montecito voters are encouraged to attend the forum to learn more about the candidates and their vision for the MFPD.
