Pennsylvania Auditor General Eugene Depasquale speaking at a `Pennsylvania Firemen`s Association Conference` in Gettysburg Thursday to discuss the issue with tight funding for Pennsylvania`s volunteer firefighters. According to Depasquale, the Volunteer Firefighters Relief Association gets state reimbursement each year — which he says needs to be reworked. "I know certainly some of our Central Pennsylvania counties we have volunteer fire relief agencies that don't have enough money so I am going to try to continue to work with the legislature and try to reform that proposal," said Depasquale. Despasquale says the importance of auditing Volunteer Firefighter Relief Agencies is about making sure money is spent effectively.
