Overview

Mission

Corporation provides fire protection services utilizing primarily volunteer labor to the unicorporated area of bayou vista in st. Mary parish

What it reported doing in 2025

Provided emergency fire protection by answering calls for such service and emergency medical services when requested due to lack of availability of ambulance service. In 2025 approximately 400 fire calls and medical calls were completed.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
