Current Topics in Fire Department Financing

Is your fire department looking to finance a project? At the upcoming 2024 CalChiefs Annual Conference in Costa Mesa, CA on October 15, we are doing a session on the current topics in fire department financing. We discuss key considerations for capital projects funding and how the current financial market environment is impacting your department's ability to obtain financing.

The session focuses on practical aspects of capital projects funding:

  • Fundamentals of financial planning for fire departments
  • Fire mitigation fees in California
  • Grants, earmarks, and direct appropriations
  • Selecting appropriate financing tools in different market conditions
  • Why interest rate is not the only criteria you should consider
  • What on-going responsibilities you have once debt is issued

A market update will also be provided, because even though we may not always know what the future holds, we should always know where we stand right now.

Hope to see you there!
