What This Data Tells You About RELIANCE FIRE COMPANY
RELIANCE FIRE COMPANY operates as a Volunteer department in Woodstown, within Salem County, and the HIFLD and USFA records give a precise structural picture of its response capacity. The department reports 43 total personnel, 1 station, no truck inventory reported. EMS capability is listed as not provided, which directly affects how medical calls in the service area are routed and how quickly an advanced life support unit can reach a patient. Department type matters because career, volunteer, and combination organizations carry very different response-time profiles and funding sources.
Benchmarking against the state gives this profile context. New Jersey has 999 registered fire departments and 35,948 total personnel, averaging roughly 36 staff per department. RELIANCE FIRE COMPANY runs 19% above that state average, signalling a larger-than-typical crew likely tied to denser population or higher call volume. The state records about 51,500 fires, 70 fire deaths, and 54% volunteer coverage each year, which shapes training, funding priorities, and mutual-aid patterns felt at every department in the state.
No FEMA AFG or SAFER grant awards are recorded against this department's FDID in USAspending data, which is common for smaller or volunteer-heavy organizations that lean on state and local funding instead. Residents, insurers, and mutual-aid partners use these data points to judge whether coverage is adequate for the built environment, whether ISO ratings are defensible, and where future capital investment should flow. All figures on this page come from the Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data (HIFLD) public dataset, USFA published statistics, and USAspending.gov, and are presented without editing so the underlying federal record remains transparent and verifiable.
