Needs Assessment

The Peachtree City Fire Department is in need of improvements to its inventory of apparatus, communications, and personal protective equipment. The Fire Department is also in need of a new fire station, on the southside of Peachtree City, for better coverage of that area. The previous SPLOST was utilized to replace apparatus and keep our fleet at top operating capacity. These proposed replacement projects maintain the current replacement schedule for fire apparatus. The City is also proposing new equipment to better protect our employees and citizens such as turnout gear washers and dryers for each station and an extraction ram for each fire engine.
