New Henry County fire vehicles approved

The purchase of more than $5 million in equipment for the Henry County Fire Department was approved by the Board of Commissioners at its Sept. 8 regular meeting. According to county staff documents, an operational need was identified for six new ambulances and six new custom pumper trucks due to the department’s aging fleet. The board authorized the purchase of six Braun Liberty ambulances for $1,502,370 and six Pierce custom pumpers for $3,817,954.

All of these vehicles are coming from Ten-8 Fire & Safety LLC using funds from the county’s capital improvement plan. Information: henrycounty-ga.com.
