Welcome to Fire-Stations.com We can help you find the financing necessary for fire station construction and remodeling for your volunteer fire department. Need to re-finance your fire department to lower your payments? Contact Us. We are part of the VFD-Funding Group of web sites. We can arrange any type of low interest loan, bond sale, or tax-exempt leasing, which we have found to be a very viable means of financing fire station construction and remodeling. Tax-exempt leases are like low interest loan in many ways. Why do you need us to arrange your financing for your new fire station construction or your remodeling project? Because:
1. We write grants, in addition to arranging other
fire department
financing,
New apparatus is being made bigger and heavier, thus many aging fire stations cannot house the new fire trucks in their bays. This is certainly true of quints, pumpers and tankers. Many quints now are coming with ladders over 100 feet and with tanks up to 500 gallons. Pumpers are coming with 2000 gpm pumps and 1250 to 1500 gallons or more tanks. The height, length, width and weight of these are more than many older fire stations can bear. Thus, if you are going to upgrade your apparatus to meet NFPA standards, you may need to upgrade and/or rebuild your fire station first. Building your new fire station after you purchased your new fire truck is not something you wish to have to do, nor do you wish to go to your community or have it in the newspaper that you overlooked this little size detail. Building a new station is not something you can immediately do. The same is true for arranging the financing. You will need to get permits, environmental impact studies, public relations with the community (who may be those asked to pay for it) and public meeting for a wide range of reasons. We suggest you contact us today, so that we can help you to choose your fire station design, contractor and to have the environmental impact study completed. The financing paperwork and process also is time consuming, requiring as early of a start as may be possible. Therefore, if you are looking to acquire new apparatus and build or extend your fire station, you will need to start today, to have it ready, built to standards, financed and in the process of construction. Also, it goes without saying the longer you wait, the more the construction and labor costs are going to increase. 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.
