Yes!
As I recall from our visit last year, the three Weston stations (four, if the new one is open now) are integrated into the BSO dispatch/response system. The main apparatus are owned by Weston and have their paint scheme, but there were also some BSO units operating out of the same stations. I don't remember who pays the staffing, the City or the County.

Weston contracts with the Sheriff for fire protection. They pay a fee for the staffing. The trucks and the fire stations are owned by the City of Weston.. When the contract is up they will go out for bid for fire protection services (staffing), or the can start their own department since they have all the infrastructure and equipment...However...I think it is very unlikely they will start their own dept.
