Douglas County commissioners prioritize replacing twelve aging fire trucks and vehicles, allocating $11.6 million from the districts capital plan. The district, serving 228 square miles, faces critical failure risks with five trucks over 20 years old. Maintenance costs rise, and response times suffer when rigs are out for repairs. Commissioners also emphasize the need for new stations, with a plan to invest $7.2 million over the next five years.
