Poor, the suggestion about grants is probably your best bet for serious money. You will need to have all your stats, numbers of runs and types of calls, etc.. Also, do you have any Interstates or State highways or railroads in your district? That may be a factor. And don't forget mutual aid calls to neighboring fire districts. You may also want to try to contact some of the closest "Big City" fire departments. They may have some perfectly good used equipment they can give you, or sell you for a token fee.
