        <ExplanationTxt>THE TRUST DOES NOT HAVE INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPENSATION RECEIVED BY THE TRUSTEES FROM THEIR EMPLOYER. THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ARE PAID PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS. THEY ARE EMPLOYED BY THEIR EMPLOYER AND RECEIVE ALL THEIR COMPENSATION SOLELY CONNECTED TO THEIR DUTIES AS PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS. IN THEIR ROLE AS TRUSTEES, THEY ARE FIDUCIARIES AND SUBJECT TO LEGAL PROHIBITIONS AGAINST SELF-DEALING. THEY SERVE ON A VOLUNTEER BASIS AS TRUST FIDUCIARIES; THEY DO NOT RECEIVE ANY ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION FROM THEIR EMPLOYER OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR THEIR SERVICES ON THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. NOTE ALSO THAT THE DISCLOSURE OF COMPENSATION REQUESTED ON THE FORM 990 WOULD CAUSE ADDITIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN BY REQUIRING THE TRUST TO COLLECT THIS INFORMATION ANNUALLY, SINCE THE TRUSTEES' COMPENSATION AS PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS VARIES FROM YEAR TO YEAR, AND FROM TRUSTEE TO TRUSTEE. FINALLY, AND VERY IMPORTANTLY, THE FORM 990 IS PUBLIC INFORMATION. IT IS LIKELY THAT REQUIRING THE DISCLOSURE OF COMPENSATION WILL DISSUADE PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS FROM VOLUNTEERING TO SERVE ON THE BOARD. THE TRUST WOULD THEN HAVE TO SPEND TRUST ASSETS TO HIRE A PROFESSIONAL TRUSTEE. PLEASE CONTACT THE TRUST OFFICE IF YOU WOULD LIKE FURTHER INFORMATION, AND/OR WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THIS FURTHER. THE TRUSTEES WANT TO BE COOPERATIVE WITH THE IRS, BUT REQUESTING THIS COMPENSATION INFORMATION IS PROBLEMATIC FOR THE REASONS STATED ABOVE.</ExplanationTxt>
