The Sherrill City Commission has unanimously approved the purchase of a new fire truck, reports Rome Sentinel.
The Sherrill-Kenwood Fire Department approached the city to express their concerns about the condition and age of their fire apparatus.
The city leadership has strategically budgeted $50,000 annually to create a Capital Improvement Reserve Fund to help reduce the financial burden to purchase a new truck.
One of the retiring fire trucks won’t go far away, as the City has agreed to sell the 1998 Pierce pumper to the SKFD for $1.00.
