And they typically do good work. Ours are funded through donations and property taxes. They are unpaid but the equipment is expensive and they need training.

They do just fine. They have to get a hell of a lot of donations to run the FD. They do a lot of dinners and stuff like that. My county is uber-conservative, but the next county over has bars in the fire departments and they are allowed to do raffles and other gambling stuff to raise money.
