They had to have raised taxes for that - why can they not raise taxes to purchase a fire truck and fire hall?

They probably will now, and it will cost a lot more than $20 for fire protection.

There is nothing so expensive as "free" government services.

7400 people x $20 a year x 7 years(life expectancy of a fire truck) = over a million dollars. That's plenty enough to buy a truck and a building.

There's strength in numbers.
