Remove the restrictions from the EPA on Fire Department emissions and restore the Forestry Service Program.

Rural fire departments buy many of their trucks through a military surplus option. Trucks that normally cost up to $100,000 or more are sold for as little as $5,000. Others are provided on loan through the forest service. Many rural fire departments have just enough budget for basic operations. The trucks are built for military use and don't meet EPA emission standards. The USDA Forest Service, which oversees both of these programs, has made contact with EPA and the military but was told they do not plan to change the policy.
Not changing this policy will result in higher local taxes and worse ISO ratings. This regulation will KILL the smaller volunteer fire departments.
