Either by resolution of the commissioners or by a petition signed by 10 percent of the registered voters who voted in the last general municipal election, a special election may be called to decrease the board of fire commissioners from five members to three members. This procedure is not applicable to a fire protection district consisting wholly of personnel employed on a full-time, fully-paid, basis.
