Car Dealership Donates Truck To Roswell Fire Department

ROSWELL, GA -- The Roswell Fire Department has accepted a donation of a 2016 GMC 2500 HD pickup truck from Carl Black Roswell.

This is the fourth such donation from the dealership, which replaced the original truck donated in 2008, the city said. The earlier trucks were used to tow the department’s Fire & Life Safety Center, also known as the smoke trailer.

The 2016 GMC truck is valued at roughly $45,872.

With about $9,000 worth of equipment in the truck, the fire department only incurred half the cost of the equipment as Carl Black donated the rest.

“Carl Black has been a valued supporter of the fire department," said Fire Chief Rick Burnette. "Our small price to pay for the equipment in the truck is small compared to the generosity they have shown us through such a large donation. We are so grateful.”

The truck will be used by Community Risk Reduction, which is part of the Roswell Fire Marshal’s Office. The truck will be appearing all around north Fulton for public education, public relations, Safe Kids North Fulton, and CERT activities.
