Overview

Mission

Volunteer firefighting services for the towns of alfred, ward and hartsville ny. Training and certifying members of the fire department.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 87% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and a relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
