Plus he is getting ready to replace the fleet with new ones about the same.

 

BTW the city manager then told him to reduce the members on the department or he would be looking for another job.

Sandy Springs Fire Rescue was launched in 2006 and is running over 10,000 runs annually from four stations, protecting a population of almost 100,000.  I am not the least bit surprised that the rigs are wearing out.  Most silly managers, I mean city managers, are nothing but bullies and certainly not problem solvers.  If Chief Fish has to make cuts, he'll probably cut Engine 2 first.  It's the busier of the two engines, but Engine 1 runs out of a nearby Roswell station part of the time, to reduce response times to a section of Sandy Springs that is remote from their stations.  The City of Sandy Springs has never built a fire station, they incorporated their city limits and took over three Fulton County stations and one Atlanta station.

 

If Chief Fish has to look for another job, I don't think he'll have much trouble.....
