COLUMBIA — An audit by the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Homeland Security has found that the Boone County Fire Protection District may have to pay $752,453 to FEMA, which funded the fire district's Task Force One operations and deployments from 2002-2007, according to a news release about the audit from the fire district. Both the Fire District and FEMA disagree with several of the audit's findings, according to the release.
