Sandy Springs fire chief Keith Sanders wants to update his department’s fleet of trucks.
In a presentation to the city council on Feb. 6, the chief explained that the department needs trucks that are smaller, lighter, newer and equipped with the latest technology. Updating the fleet could cost the city about $4 million, but Sanders said in the long run, the upgrade will save the city money.
The fire department wants to buy five vehicles from Wisconsin-based Pierce Manufacturing Inc. which would cost a quoted $4,462,805.82.
