16 Capital Funding for Apparatus Historically Radnor Township has funded 100% of the total cost of a piece of fire apparatus (i.e. Engine, Rescue, Ladder) for RFC. However, this practice changed in 2011 when Radnor Township provided $600,000 towards the purchase of the new ladder truck (aka Quint 15). Tredyffrin Township contributed $15,000, which represented the 1 st time that funding of this nature has been directed to RFC. The total cost of the Quint, less equipment, was $825,000. RFC applied for and obtained a low-interest loan through PEMA, and was awarded a loan of $150,000 at 2% interest, which was applied towards the purchase of the Quint. The loan payment schedule is listed below. 15 Year Payment Schedule $965.26 x 12 Months= $11,583.12
