The vote to merge the Fort Myers Beach, Bonita Springs and Iona McGregor Fire Districts failed to pass during the Lee County Legislative meeting.

The fire districts were vocal about not wanting to merge during the Thursday morning meeting.

A study will be conducted before any changes are made.

Representative Adam Botana, who drafted the bill, said it would save money.
