HENRY COUNTY, Ga. — The Henry County Fire Department replaced two engines in its fleet with new ones earlier this month.

The new engines with higher-capacity pumps were placed at Station 3 and Station 9 in Stockbridge, with the older engines moving to Station 2 and Station 4.

The stations receiving the new engines responded to nearly 3,600 emergency calls in 2010, part of a record year in which the department responded to more than 20,000 calls countywide.
