Placeholder Image
A new swift water rescue truck is coming to Fire Station 14 in Buford to help respond to emergencies on the Chattahoochee River and Lake Lanier. Gwinnett County commissioners approved the $229,461 purchase on Tuesday, with funding coming from the county’s 2009 special purpose local option sales tax, according to a news release from the county. Southeastern Specialty Vehicles in North Carolina will build the truck on a Ford F-550 chassis to comply with codes and standards of the National Fire Protection Association.
