Since when does the Federal gov't finance firehouses?

I guess you didn't read Billybob's post #3? Or perhaps you have an interpretation of the Marshall plan that noone's ever thought of?

I'll rephrase the question: Since when does the Federal Government build or subsidize local firehouses in the U.S.?

We're building a new one in our small city, paid for by property taxes, approved by a voter referendum. No federal money involved.
