[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1268825, member: 4362"] Works the same here. Our VFD responders are paid out of the county budget each time they respond to a call. Most of the equipment they have is provided for by the GFC through a deal they have the USFS and the federal government's surplus program. The GFC also has a shop where they make fire equipment to give to the volunteer outfits. Basically its free and all you have to do is ask for it. When we get a new piece of equipment that needs modifying we'll do fund raisers and we'll also get help from donations from the community. Dash, if its an illegal non-permitted burn we lay a hefty fine on them but to fine someone for putting their house fire out or a fire that is out of their control is just wrong but I remember when I passed through Florida carrying supplies to Katrina victims the Florida DOT was out in force giving people grief so it doesn't surprise me that Florida would fine someone for a fire. I'm just glad it doesn't work that way here. [/QUOTE]
