The Flint Fire Department requested multiple new fire trucks for the department at last week’s city council meeting, abc12.com reported.

A fire official told the council that the department needed about five to six new trucks. The department sought permission to purchase three trucks: A ladder truck, a heavy rescue truck and a pumper truck, the report said.

The ladder truck would cost just over $1 million while the pumper and heavy rescue would cost about $750,000 apiece. All three trucks are currently available as demonstration or gently used models from Pierce Manufacturing, according to the report.

The fire official said that some existing Flint fire trucks had been driven over 175,000 miles and they are rusting, the report said.
