Marysville Fire Co. No. 1 Fireman’s Relief Association – Perry County – Audit Period January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025

The Marysville Fire Co. No. 1 Fireman’s Relief Association underwent a compliance audit covering January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2025. The audit aimed to assess whether the association addressed previous audit findings and complied with state laws regarding the receipt and expenditure of state aid. The audit confirmed that corrective actions were taken concerning past findings, but identified a new issue: a failure to establish a formal agreement securing their ownership interest in jointly purchased equipment. It was noted that firefighters’ relief associations receive public funds and must maintain proper records and accountability. Despite unauthorized withdrawals being detected in 2025, the relief association managed to recover the funds. However, a formal joint purchase agreement was not executed for turnout gear purchased in 2024, potentially affecting ownership rights. The association operates under the guidance of the VFRA Act, emphasizing prudent financial management. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
