Overview

Mission

To provide fire service to our community.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Lawrenceville Volunteer Fire Dept has one objective to provide emergency services to the general public. All of our expenses go towards this objective either directly or indirectly. All the money spent on fundraising is meant to enable us to have more funds to provide emergency services. We provide emergency services to our fire district and automatic response to the two sister fire districts in our township. Outside our township we provide mutual aid response to ten surrounding fire departments. When called upon we provide man power equipment and we take part in the water shuttle system. The water shuttle system is used to supply continuous supply of water due to there being no fire hydrants in our area. This system depends on Tanker trucks to supply water.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 77% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
