VFD Funding to Begin Global Financing and VFD Funding Group Owner Will Griffin Named to Business Advisory Council - U.S. Congress

VFD-Funding Group has begun expanding funding services to include financing of firefighting apparatus, ambulances and equipment on a global basis. Up until now, all financing services were for USA fire departments and were underwritten by the major USA banks. We have been working diligently with the U.S. Dept. of State, the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, and ExIm Bank to provide financing for firefighting apparatus on a global basis, to meet our international inquiries and requests.

Currently the VFD Funding Group is processing requests for over 300 fire trucks and the financing of these for countries such as China, the Philippines, Bangladesh and Iraq. We have begun the process of also seeking more international firefighting apparatus manufacturers for strategic alliances to meet the market demands.

Similarly, the VFD Funding Group is pursuing a domestic USA manufacturer to begin construction of a series of firefighting apparatus to meet the needs for both USA fire departments and those globally. The types of apparatus include a brush/wildfire unit, a RIT unit, and two versions of a mini-rescue-pumper/quick-attack. Both of the mini-rescue-pumper models will come with the options of either the apparatus itself, or a fully equipped model as a package, which can receive 100% financing. VFD-Funding will announce the final form and the offering of the apparatus, as soon as a manufacturer is selected and the demo units are constructed and made available for review.

The expansion into global financing and the construction of a series of firefighting apparatus are the results of a large volume of internationall requests for service and in conjunction with VFD Funding Group owner, Will Griffin, being named to the Business Advisory Council of the U.S. Congress.
