PUBLIC SAFETY

This project is for the purchase of a Quick Response Vehicle (QRV) to provide coverage on the west side of the city. This vehicle will provide primary response to emergency medical calls and supplementa; response on other types of emergencies, such as brush fires and vehicle accidents. These vehicles are critical for emergency response within parking decks planned in Piedmont Hospital Fayette and Trilith developments due to the weight restrictions for these decks. This vehicle is valuable when the response of a full-size fire apparatus is not needed, keeping units in service for other emergency responses and reducing wear and tear on the larger trucks.
