I would suggest a review of the same budget that carries the fire departments needs.
A line by line review to be able to see where the funds are being directed.
There most certainly will be pet projects that carry a lower priority than fire protection is being allotted.
Once armed with the details then one can determine whether there is a need to volunteer to pay anymore or not.
