I am looking for 2004 numbers for the public safety market -- 2003 if
the 04 numbers aren't available yet -- that show the expenditures
(i.e., the dollars spent) in the US for Fire Depts. I'd like a
breakdown by dollars spent on general items,  (e.g., $ on vehicles and
fleet maintenance, $ on computers, $ on ...).

Would the commercial report below meet your needs?

Regional Datasets E-Document
             
This electronic Excel file provides you with the full nationwide
survey responses from ICMA's Police and Fire Personnel and
Expenditures 2004 Survey.

Best regards,

No, that doesn't really help me. There are other reports that also
cost money. I have already found at the Federal level dollars that are
granted towards firefighting and firefighters. I really need the local
level aggregates at this point.

Yes but on a aggregated national level -- that's just for one county!
Thanks for asking.
