responding Weld County emergency personnel for mutual aid of emergency services:
North on a line equal to the Fast right-of-way of Weld County Road 81 from the Adams
County boundary to State Highway 14(Weld County Road 90), and then east on a line
equal to the North right-of-way of Colorado Highway 14 (Weld County Road 90) to the
Logan County boundary.
These boundaries may be extended at the discretion of county officials.
3. Morgan County Ambulance Service will respond units upon request when units and
