EARLIER TODAY THE PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY (Virginia) Board of Supervisors dissolved one of the independent volunteer fire companies and took over their assets. The County Fire and Rescue Dept. immediately took responsibility for running all calls in the district.
DAVE STATTER of WUSA-TV, Ch. 9 and blogger STATter911 has the exclusive story of this most unusual event.
The seizure took place following a 4-month auditing of the VFD where the company directors and officers failed to cooperate, in some cases impeding, with the official function.
Along with the usual financial hanky-panky, the audit exposed some very interesting practices, including the fact that the fire chief and his entire family were living in one of the two firehouses.
STATter911 has the story, including the entire audit report, HERE. If you have 20 minutes or so, be sure to read the audit report. It’s a head-shaker. Firegeezer wonders why this was allowed to go on for so long. Most of this stuff wasn’t any secret.
