Smith's Cove Fire Department is a charitable organization based in Smiths Cove, Nova Scotia, classified by the CRA under community resource organizations.

In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $106K in revenue and $136K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
