The board of commissioners
  shall have and exercise, with respect to such district,  the  applicable
  powers  and  duties  of  a  board  of  fire  district  commissioners  as
  prescribed by the town law, with respect to similar functions of a  fire
  district  in  a town and all of the provisions of article eleven of this
  chapter shall be applicable to a joint fire district created pursuant to
  this  article.  Such  powers  and  duties  of  the  board  of   district
  commissioners are subject to the following restriction:

  the district is situated. But this restriction shall not  apply  if,  at
  the  meeting  for  the  establishment  of  any  such  district hereafter
  established, a resolution to that effect is adopted in the  same  manner
  as the resolution for the establishment of the district is adopted.
