The thieves made off with about $100,000 dollars worth of equipment, including the department’s brand-new Ford F-350, which they use as a primary response vehicle.

One firefighter had his Jeep Wrangler taken, and another firefighter’s apartment inside the station was ransacked. His loss totals about $8,000 dollars.

Most of the project’s funding would buy four rescue engines at about $505,467 a pop. A $931,920 Quint engine, which packs a ladder and other equipment, will also be purchased. The rest of the total consists of equipment ($174,928) and issuance costs and bank fees ($71,000), according to the resolution.

The county’s annual payment would be about $341,000 as part of a 10-year lease with Bank of America, according to county documents.

The county will draw money from the general fund for the project, though whether existing revenue will be enough remains a question. A 1-cent real estate tax rate increase could be on the table for fiscal year 2019.
