Research a Fire departments budget. Describe the type of budget used, all sources of revenue including grants, taxes, and fees for service. What are the bottom line expenditures for each major division of the department? For example; salaries, retirement obligations, SSI and other employee costs. How much is allocated for vehicles, gas, repair, tires, etc. What is the budget cycle process? This should be a detailed description (using a chart is acceptable). Describe the key players in your organization in regards to developing a department budget and approval process. Research alternative funding sources for fire and emergency service organizations and provide a written recommendation on your findings.
