Programs described in its return (1)
- $58,206 spent. 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.
