Augusta (GA) Fire Truck Funding Recommendation $4M Short of Department Request

An Augusta (GA) commission committee’s recommendation for funding new fire trucks is $4M short of what the fire department recommended, WJBF.com reported.

A fire official wants almost $7 million in Rescue Act funds for new fire trucks and light vehicles, the report said. The Public Safety committee recommended $3 million because commissioners say only about $8 million in unassigned Rescue Act funds remain.

A city official said he did not want to use up all of the federal money available because there are other projects the money could be used for, the report said.

Another committee meeting is scheduled for next week, according to the report.
