from FoCo UNPLUGGED · host Forsyth County, Georgia Government

The average cost for a new pumper fire truck is over $1.M. In 2020, that cost was roughly $700,000. Also, in 2020, the average time from ordering a truck to having it delivered was roughly 12-14 months. Today the delivery time is upwards of 36-48 months.    So how does @forsythcountyfiredepartment manage the costs and maintenance of ensuring fire safety equipment is ready to answer the call?    Fire Chief Barry Head and County CFO Brian Clark discuss in the latest FoCo Unplugged podcast.
