  VFD Equipment Acquisition

    As we all know, there comes a time when turn-out gear, SCBA, and other equipment needs to be replaced or the needs of the community have grown such that larger, new types of equipment, and more equipment are necessary.  We don't need to tell you how expensive some of this gear may be, such as hoses, ladders, axes, ventilation equipment, extrication equipment, Haligan bars, spanner wrenches, plug wrenches, hose clamps, imaging cameras, SCBA, bunker gear, etc. 

    At VFD-Funding, we can help you select and acquire this equipment.  We can do this through leasing directly from manufacturers, tax-exempt leasing, federal grants, state grants, corporate grants, bond sales from your community, community fund-raising and donations, or a combination of methods. This equipment can include, but is not limited to:

        fire hose and nozzles
       
ladders
        wrenches/plug tools
        thermal imaging cameras
        bunker/turn-out gear
   
    SCBA gear
        ventilation equipment and fans
       
radios/communication
        Hazmat equipment
        Equipment for Rehab Units
        Rescue Equipment

    Please also visit our other equipment web sites:  Firefighting-Equipment.biz and Firefighting-Supplies.com

    We can assist you in acquiring this equipment no matter the manufacturer.  As some grants, notably FEMA, may require 2 or more bids, if your department doesn't have a purchasing process, we can help you by obtaining these bids for you, all the while trying to get you the best possible price and the equipment that you need.  In some situations, by using tax-exempt leasing, the lengthy process of obtaining multiple bids may not be necessary.

   For grant guidelines, See:   § 152.4 Roles and responsibilities. See also:  AFG 2005, 2006, 2007 AFG Guidelines  In Pennsylvania, also see PA Loans to Volunteers Program  Similar assistance programs and laws exists for volunteer fire departments and EMS services in other states.

    So contact us at VFD-Funding today or fill out our convenient on-line feedback form, give us your wish list and tell us a little about your organization and then let's see what all we may be able to do for you and your volunteer fire department, rescue squad or EMS service.  REMEMBER, there are NO up front costs or fees required.
