It is like what I grew up with, I call my banker, I need this amount of money for this item and it is a done deal. They are like family and to me that is a big thing because that is all the fire department is, a big family and Republic First National fit right in with us.

Republic First National is definitely one of the best companies for financing fire apparatus and equipment. I have used them 5 times in the past 12 years and guarantee you will not find anyone who makes the process easier. The staff is super friendly and great to work with. Nothing but great things to say about this company!

The thought of having to borrow that much money for our Engine was terrifying, but thanks to everyone at Republic First National the process was easy and painless, they explained everything up front and worked with us to get the payment we needed. We look forward to working with them again on our next major purchase.

The entire team was fantastic to deal with on our apparatus purchases. The purchasing process could not have been smoother as we were able to get the best offer upfront no haggle and move through the stages of securing the loans quickly..
