This week, WTAE-TV aired a story regarding the Pittsburgh fire department’s vehicles and their condition (I should say their long-past-working condition). They need help. Thank you to the University of Pittsburgh for making a five-year commitment to the city of Pittsburgh.
What happened to Carnegie Mellon University, Duquesne University, Allegheny General Hospital and Highmark? These nonprofits need to step up and make a commitment. It takes more than three years to get a new fire truck, at a cost of $400,000 and up. What condition do you think the current fleet of vehicles will be in in three to four years?
Action needs to be taken now. Make your commitment and help the citizens of Pittsburgh.
