Overview

Mission

To provide for the safe and efficient response to hazardous materials spills, natural and man-made regional emergencies and other incidents within the borders of the towns and cities that adopt the amended and restated interlocal agreement for the fairfield county hazardous incident response team, as it may be amended from time to time.

What it reported doing in 2024

Operating model

Revenue model: Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
