my dept. is looking for help on training

M y dept. is looking for help with training. We are a small vol. dept with only about 15 members, we do adout 375 runs a year. We bill for what we can but some time that doesn't pay out. We are looking for any form of training equipment (ie. videos, books, etc..). If anyone has an idea of how we can obtain any of these items for as little as possible. Like I said, we are a volunteer dept. that doesn't have the funds to purchase brand new training equipment. We were just looking for any resources that you can suggest. We have tried applying for grants, but it seems the full-time departments get those first. Even though, our runs out number the full-time departments. Your help is greatly appreciated. Feel free to contact my with any information you can provide. I will respond as quickly as possible. Thanks again.
