Fire Department OMA

Volunteer fire department holds monthly meetings to discuss fire department
business. Would these be subject to the OMA? Specifically, are these
meetings required to be open to the public? I can see arguments for why
they should be open to the public, but can't find anything I feel is
determinative of the question. I've heard there is an AG's opinion on the
issue that I am attempting to track down also.

If it is a title 11 or 19 fire department, it is subject to the Open Meeting Act. If title 18, I’m not sure
