Overview

Mission

To provide skilled, volunteer fire and first response emergency services to citizens of midland county and the surrounding communities of this district in order to save lives and property.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization responded to fires in the midland county area and other locations as requested by the Texas infrastructure fire mutual aid system (see exhibit a)

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 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
