This fire department was formed as a non-profit fire department to provide emergency services to the citizens located within and passing through the fire district. This fire department is not a government agency, which means we are not required to abide by North Carolina open records laws. Despite that fact, the Board of Directors and fire department management find it necessary to provide the public with as much information as possible so that anyone interested in the financial and operational functions of their fire department can view this information with ease.

In order to make such information readily available to the public, the Board of Directors and fire department management have included their IRS Form 990s for the last (3) three years along with their IRS 1023 Form on this website page for review.

(Question) What are IRS 990’s?
(Answer) An IRS Form 990 is an informational tax form that most tax-exempt organizations must file annually.  In a nutshell, the form gives the IRS an overview of the organization’s activities, governance, and detailed financial information.

(Question) What is the IRS 1023 Form?
(Answer) The IRS Form 1023 is the document the fire department files with the IRS to obtain their non-profit status.
