A volunteer fire department is normally supported by donations or as a line item in the municipal budget, so their services are available to anyone, regardless of ability to pay. On the other hand, firefighting can be expensive, so cost-recovery mechanisms are becoming more common, even for a volunteer department that does not pay its members anything for their services.

It depends upon the particular department and what the water is used for. Fire trucks do not carry potable water as it may be contaminated due to the foam that is often used during firefighting operations.

Heat can cause the dry chemical powder used in fire extinguishing to break down and lose its effectiveness. This can happen because the heat causes chemical reactions within the powder, causing it to lose its ability to smother or suppress the fire. Additionally, excessive heat can also cause the powder to clump together or become caked, making it difficult to disperse or spread evenly on the fire.

This can include areas such as firefighting, emergency medical services, technical rescue, hazardous materials response, or fire investigation.

To make a firetruck from paper, you can start by folding a rectangular piece of paper in half lengthwise. Then, fold one of the shorter edges down to meet the center crease at a right angle to create the cabin of the firetruck. Next, fold the longer edge in half again, accordion-style, to create the firetruck's wheels. Finally, decorate the cabin with windows, doors, and other details using colored pencils or markers.
