All fire departments and fire companies in the town are authorized
and permitted, with the consent of the Town Board, to contract with
a city, village, town, fire district or territory outside of a city,
village or fire district, to go to the aid of the city, village, town,
fire district or territory in extinguishing a fire or fires therein;
however, the call for such aid, in the case of a city, town, village
