Fire trucks don't come cheap.
But the $550,000 price tag of a Pierce Rescue/Pumper truck like this is worth every penny when your safety and the protection of your property is at stake.
Unfortunately, the economics of fighting fires on a volunteer basis does not allow a volunteer fire company (VFC) like ours to operate on a pay-as-you-need-it (or as-you-benefit) basis. In addition to payments of as much as $10,000 per month for a new Rescue/Pumper, we will still need money to maintain our three existing stations and ten vehicles, and continue to provide training to our all-volunteer force.
And remember, we will do all this without receiving any of your tax dollars . That's right - the services and protections offered by our VFC depend on YOU and the support you show by responding to this FIRST RESPONSE call. |
