I believe that this question is more relevant than whether or not we will get better service with a separate fire district.

I would disagree. I feel the question of service, and quality/reliability of service, is more important than cost.
The portion of your overall tax bill that is used for fire protection should initially be less with the IFD. My fire protection costs will be less until the variable portion of the IFD funding hits about 0.6 mils.
Your overall tax bill is likely to increase. If this happens, it is not due to the IFD costs. If it happens it will be due to the BoCC not lowering millage to match the removal of the VPSD and SCFD - effectively a tax increase.
