0017|     official fire department for a period of at least one year,
    |
0018|     established and governed by appropriate resolution of the board
    |
0019|     of county commissioners of the county in which the county fire
    |
0020|     district is located, and possesses fire apparatus and equipment
    |
0021|     in serviceable condition to respond to a fire incident;
    |
0022|                 (2)  the geographic limits and boundaries of the
    |
0023|     county fire district have been clearly defined and established
    |
0024|     by the board of county commissioners of the county in which the
    |
0025|     county fire district is located, and a plat showing the
    |
0001|     geographic limits and boundaries has been accepted by the board
    |
0002|     of county commissioners and filed as part of the official record
    |
0003|     of proceedings of the board and a certified copy thereof filed

    |
0011|     adjacent and contiguous to the district but within another
    |
0012|     county; provided that the county commissioners of the other
    |
0013|     county shall consent by resolution duly adopted to the service
    |
0014|     and to the boundaries of the other area serviced.  Before
    |
0015|     commencement of service, a plat showing the geographic limits

    |

    |
0018|     the marshal.  The county commissioners of either the county in
    |
0019|     which the county <u>fire</u> district is located or of the county in
    |
0020|     which the area being serviced is located may terminate the
    |
0021|     service but only with the approval of the marshal."
