- the principal activity of the entity is providing volunteer‑based emergency services that are regulated by a state or territory law
- it is established and maintained solely for the purpose of supporting the volunteer-based emergency service activities of the entity.
If your fund does not qualify as a fire and emergency services fund, check the DGR table to see if another category applies.
