Kittitas Valley fire station a fire hazard, firefighters hoping to revamp

Milton (GA) Welcomes Newest Fire Apparatus

 
 

The Department acquired the new Pierce Enforcer Pumper as part of their overall fleet plan, which was designed to serve the current and future needs of the community. The new pumper will take the place of one of the 2007 engines as a front-line emergency response vehicle. The new engine, which will become the primary response for Station 41, cost $571,000. The engine it is replacing will be auctioned and the city anticipates recouping about $100,000.  

This is the first of three new engines the department is purchasing to replace those original to the department, which began in 2007. The two additional "sister trucks" are set to arrive in Milton in the fall. Once they do, one of the original fleet engines will be auctioned, and the other will become a legacy unit and put into reserve status in case of an emergency.
