Tiny California fire agency overcharged $700,000 for wildfire work. Are others doing it?
A fire department south of Lake Tahoe has overbilled government agencies by more than $700,000 in the last three years, according to a report released Thursday by the California State Auditor's office.
State auditors say the Fallen Leaf Lake Community Services District, which provides fire protection services under an agreement between federal and state agencies, might have to pay the money back, which would dramatically slash its $1.2 million reserve balance.
In a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislative leaders, State Auditor Elaine Howle wrote that "the district jeopardized its financial viability because it may have to repay the excessive reimbursement amounts."
