I don't know about other places but our fire dept is actually mostly volunteer and the small budget they have is from our state budget or maybe our city budget. I'm not quite sure but I know they don't get much money. It is so bad in our area that we end up getting volunteers from near by towns as well to respond to our fires.

Oh okay sounds similar to our fire fighter dept in my area's situation.
