government agencies to make contract - Reimbursement.
Any rural fire protection district may elect to enter into a contract with another rural fire 
protection district to consolidate or cooperate for mutual fire protection and prevention purposes, 
including ambulance or emergency vehicle services. Any rural fire protection district, or two or 
more districts operating in conjunction pursuant to this section, may enter into a contract with 
any federal, state, or local government agency for fire protection service or fire protection 
cooperation, including ambulance or emergency vehicle services. State and local government 
agencies have the power to contract for fire protection service or fire protection cooperation. 
Federal, state, and local government agencies shall reimburse rural fire protection districts for 
fire protection services provided on real property owned by such agencies. Reimbursement 
must be on a reasonable annual fee based on the agency's acreage [hectarage] within the rural 
fire protection district, but in no event may such fee be an amount greater than if such property 
had been subject to property tax levies.
