shall have and exercise, with respect to such district, the applicable

powers and duties of a board of fire district commissioners as

prescribed by the town law, with respect to similar functions of a fire

district in a town and all of the provisions of article eleven of this

chapter shall be applicable to a joint fire district created pursuant to

this article. Such powers and duties of the board of district

No real property or easement therein shall be acquired by the board of

commissioners without the approval of the village board or boards and

the town board or boards of each village or town in which any portion of

the meeting for the establishment of any such district hereafter

established, a resolution to that effect is adopted in the same manner

as the resolution for the establishment of the district is adopted.
