Why This Vote Matters
Richmond will donate a 33-year-old fire truck to volunteer firefighters in Nicaragua after council members voted unanimously to approve the gift. The 1991 Pierce Dash Pumper is no longer used for emergency calls in Richmond but can still serve the Managua Volunteer Fire Department. The donation costs the city nothing since the truck was already surplus equipment. This routine disposal of outdated equipment helps an international partner while clearing space in the city's fleet.
