2006 New York Code - Agreements With Fire Districts

 
    §  139. Agreements with fire districts. If in the judgment of the town
  board it is advisable for the safety and welfare of the inhabitants of a
  fire district in the town that the issuance of a  town  fire  permit  to
  burn grass, leaves, brush, rubbish, refuse, buildings or other materials
  in  a  fire district should be issued, and preliminary investigations in
  relation thereto should be made, by a person or  persons  most  familiar
  with  local  grass and brush fire hazard conditions in the fire district
  and the availability of fire-fighting vehicles  and  firemen,  then  the
  town  board,  notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  section  one hundred
  thirty-eight of this chapter, may provide in any fire  prevention  code,
  whether  adopted  by local law or by ordinance, that an agreement may be
  entered into with the board of fire commissioners of any  fire  district
  located  wholly or partly in the town that the issuance of such permits,
  and preliminary investigations in relation thereto,  on  behalf  of  the
  town  will  be  performed by the fire district within the limits of such
  district in such town, the fire district to utilize the services of  the
  chief  engineer  and  assistant  engineers  of  the  fire  district fire
  department in the performance of such duties agreed to be  performed  by
  the  fire  district. Any such agreement shall be for such period of time
  and on such terms as may be agreed upon, except that  it  shall  provide
  (1)  that  it  may be terminated by the town after written notice to the
  fire district and after a change in such fire prevention code to provide
  a different procedure for issuing such permits will become effective and
  (2) that it may be terminated by  the  fire  district  upon  sixty  days
  written  notice to the town. If any fire prevention code contains such a
  provision authorizing such an agreement, the town board of the town  and
  the  board  of fire commissioners of any fire district located wholly or
  partly in the town shall have power to enter into such agreement.
