The 2012 GMC Yukons will each cost about $50,000. They’ll be on the streets Jan. 1 and most will be used to respond to medical calls. The Rockford Fire Department has nine fire engines, but says the SUVs are needed to prevent more wear and tear on the larger trucks.
From WIFR TV: The Rockford (Ill.) Fire Department is adding SUVs to its fleet, in a move that could save the department thousands of dollars.
Instead of hauling out a fire engine for every call, the Rockford Fire Department will buy four new SUVs to respond to emergencies. The department says this will save more than 20-thousand dollars next year in fuel costs alone.
