http://www.e-one.com/news/eone-stories/vote-for-the-best-story.htm?id=644these guys operate off of almost entirely donations... they got $10k from the city last year to run the department for the ENTIRE year, and most of that went to pay for the insurance they have to have. they serve one of the poorest counties in NC so even though the citizens they serve give as much as they can, it's still not nearly enough to adequately run the dept.their first out truck is a 1972 howe pumper that desperately needs its transmission rebuilt and has a leaky tank... they don't have the money to fix it.they've been turned down for grants from FEMA and the USDA because they didn't have enough revenue...if there's anyone that deserves to win this, it's them.help them out and vote for their story - if they win, they get a $185k e-one pumper for free.]
