So, what does it cost to equip a fire department?

 

Among the long list of things most of us take for granted is the incredible amount of money it takes to outfit a fire department. Sure, we don’t need their services every day, but just ask someone who has experienced a fire at their home or office, if it does ever happen to you, you want the best trained firefighters, the fastest response time, the most current equipment, and the latest in technology to be there for you.
