The mission of the fire department is to protect lives and property by responding to emergencies like fires and medical calls, while also focusing on community engagement, fire prevention education, and ongoing training for its volunteer members.

What it reported doing in 2024

Tasks conducted by the members include training to fight fires, acquiring credentials to tend medical care, fundraising, and partaking in fire prevention events to educate the public.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 64% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
