municipalities - Charges.

A. The board of county commissioners of each county may enter

into agreements with any municipality for the furnishing of fire

protection and emergency services, including, but not limited to,

medical attention and wreck removal, by said municipality for all

persons and property in areas outside the corporate limits of such

municipality and to pay for such services a reasonable amount on a

per run basis, or such other equitable basis as may be agreed upon,

and to pay for such services from funds of the county general fund

or the county highway fund. The board of county commissioners of

each county may also enter into reciprocal agreements with other

counties for such services. The board of county commissioners shall

also have the authority to collect charges for such services

performed by a municipality or another county, pursuant to the

provision of this section, from any person to whom such services are

provided. Said funds shall be disbursed to the entities providing

services.

B. Should a disagreement over service areas arise between

jurisdictions providing services, with or without an agreement as

described in subsection A of this section, either entity may

petition for arbitration by the Fire Marshal's Commission to

determine boundary lines for the entities involved. In making a

determination, the Fire Marshal's Commission shall consider, but is

not limited to, the importance of a quick response time, the

financial burden on both the service providers and the jurisdiction

receiving services, and the capabilities of both jurisdictions to

render services.
