    The vehicles first responders rely on in an emergency are now causing local fire departments a financial headache. "It's definitely been a challenge," said Wake County Fire and Emergency Management Director Darrell Alford. He noted the price of a new fire engine has gone through the roof. "Since Covid, we have seen seven, eight, nine, 10% increases on the cost of these units," Alford said. County purchasing orders obtained by WRAL through open records requests show an even sharper price increase.
