McKean County VFRAs in Compliance with State Law
Auditor General Jack Wagner said today that audits of five McKean County Volunteer Firefighter Relief Associations determined that they were in compliance with tested laws and regulations.
Reports covering the audit peroid January 1, 2004, to December 31, 2006 were Eldred Township VFRA; Hilltop VFRA; Lewis Run VFRA; Norwich Township VFRA; and Otto Township VFRA.
"The proper managment of funds in these McKean County VFRAs ensures that they will continue to support local volunteer firefighters who bravely put themselves at risk to help protect their neighbors' health and property," Wagner said.
VFRAs are non-profit organizations established to afford financial protection to volunteer firefighters who suffer misfortune as a result of their participation in the fire service. VFRAs receive state aid from a 2 percent state tax on fire insurance purchased by Pennsylvania residents from insurance companies incorporated outside of the commonwealth. These funds are used to pay for insurance to protect volunteer firefighters, to purchase fire equipment and to cover volunteer training expenses. VFRAs are separate entities from fire companies.
