If an application for registration of an entity as a rural fire brigade is granted, each person in the group who applied for registration is not necessarily a member of the rural fire brigade. The commissioner may at any time cancel the registration of a rural fire brigade. s 135 prev s 135 sub 2014 No. 17 s 100 om 2024 No. 18 s 11 pres s 135 (prev s 79) amd 1996 No. 42 s 21 sch 2 ; 2001 No. 76 s 24 (1) ; 2024 No. 22 s 45 reloc and renum 2024 No. 22 s 51 (2) (sec.135-ssec.1) Any group of persons may apply to the commissioner to register an entity as a rural fire brigade.
