According to a report from WALB, the Remerton (GA) Fire Department (RFD) is working to improve services to people who frequent the area. One of these ways they can handle the increasing call volume is with do so is with a new ladder truck, which will play a crucial role for calls to apartments with multiple floors.
RFD Chief James Horne said call volumes have surged in the past two years and continues to increase, with 75 percent of them being medical calls. House fires are the least likely.
The RFD expects the new truck, funded by the state’s fireworks tax, to arrive in the summer, along with new hoses.
The new equipment will allow them to serve more people at one time as well as help neighboring areas, when needed.
