West Virginia's volunteer fire departments looking to offset anticipated increases in their workers compensation insurance premiums can turn to a website launched by the state auditor's office or call Auditor Glen Gainer's office.
Many departments have indicated they couldn't afford premium increases and would have to shut down or cut back services.
Gainer says reimbursement forms are now available on his office's website.
Brickstreet, the state-created insurance program for workers' compensation coverage, has said it plans to stop covering volunteer fire departments after July 1.
The West Virginia State Firemen's Association says at least three other carriers are offering the coverage.
