An audit issued today for the Doty area fire department reported their internal controls are adequate to safeguard public assets.

Lewis County Fire District 16 took in $17,434 in revenue during 2011, primarily through property taxes, to support its operations, according to the Washington State Auditors Office.

The report dated Dec. 20 covers the two years ending on Dec. 31, 2011.

The auditor also notes that in the areas it examined, the district complied with state laws and its own policies.

The volunteer department is governed by an elected three member board of commissioners.
