Firefighters rely on their vehicles to be ready for emergencies. Maintaining this readiness is costly, and a significant investment is being made to ensure the fire and EMS fleet can meet the demands of a growing community. A total of $17.3 million in bond funding is being allocated to replace and rebuild fire and EMS apparatus over several years.

The decision to replace a vehicle is based on various factors, including repair costs, frequency of downtime, mileage, and engine hours. Further details on this investment and the fleet replacement plan are available from the source, providing more information on the efforts to maintain emergency response readiness.
