     365.16 Board to tax for, get, manage police, fire gear. 

    A town board may annually levy the tax it decides is 
 necessary for police and fire apparatus and to operate and keep 
 up the apparatus.  The tax must not be more than the amount that 
 the electors allowed for the purpose.  The board may enter into 
 any contracts necessary to get, operate, and keep up the 
 apparatus and shall control the apparatus.  If the apparatus is 
 shared under section 365.17 with home rule charter or statutory 
 cities or other towns, the control must be shared with them.
