Federal grants to replace a rescue truck

In my volunteer department, our rescue truck just blew a head gasket. Along with this the rescue needs several repairs. My questions is there any grants out there to replace a fire truck? Personally i believe it may be cheaper to get one off a grant. But I dont know of any grants if there is such a thing.

Kyle, having worked with depts. that had difficulty replacing rigs one of the things we established was with the local community college and auto/truck mechanic training programs to help with repairs. They were often looking for vehicles to repair and the usual cost was for parts only (if even that). The students would perform the labor and gained valuable experience.
