what is nys joint fire district law 189-b?

Answer 1

It deals specifically with the sales of fire house properties, land, and apparatus to a joint district if a municipality so chooses.

Town Law § 189-b (village board of trustees may authorize sale of firehouse and fire equipment to joint fire district with or without consideration).

Thus, the governing statutory scheme gives the village board of trustees (together with the town board) considerable power over the existence and structure of the Fire District, and contemplates that the two entities may contract with one another for various purposes.
