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.
