(70 ILCS 705/14.01) (from Ch. 127 1/2, par. 34.01)
Sec. 14.01.
Any two or more adjoining fire protection districts may merge
and form a single consolidated district which shall thereafter be subject
to the provisions of this Act. For the purpose of this Section and Sections
14.02 through 14.13, districts
shall be considered as adjoining when any portion of their boundaries are
contiguous or overlap, or when a portion of the boundaries of each of
the districts seeking to merge to form a consolidated district is contiguous
with the same municipality and are served by the same fire department or
fire protection department. When the proposed consolidated district will include
more than two districts, it shall not be necessary for each district to
adjoin each of the other districts, but it shall be sufficient if each
district adjoins one of the other districts or if each district adjoins
the same municipality.
