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.....
