The McLean VFD put down a large chunk of money for the new Rescue 401 a few years back. I don't think they have sufficient cash on hand to purchase a new pumper anytime soon. I'll make an inquiry or two.

This has probably been covered in this thread somewhere, but how does a "volunteer" department such as McLean raise funds or pay for apparatus? Other than having the "in partnership" writing and logo patch (and keeping your department colors) what exactly is the advantage of the vollie house buying thier own piece??? I am sure it has been covered at least once but I am drawing a blank and don't recall how or why it works.
Thank you
