The fire fighting equipment revolving loan fund is established to assist local fire departments to complete purchase or repairs of equipment used in the performance of the departments' fire fighting duties, when the acquisition or repair of such equipment would be impractical in the absence of assistance from the fund. Each payment of funds from the fund to a local fire department shall be a loan awarded in compliance with rules 661-259.201 (80GA,ch177) to 661-259.207 (80GA, ch177), and shall be for the specific purpose established in a contract entered into between the department of public safety and either the local fire department receiving the funds; or the city, county, or township of which the fire department is a part; or another legal entity authorized to enter into legally binding commitments on behalf of the fire department.
