(1)Any city in the state owning or controlling fire apparatus may take it to extinguish

fires to any point in the county in which that city is located, into a smaller territory

in that county, or into areas of another county or state, as determined by the city

legislative body. The apparatus shall be so used only in conformity with reasonable

terms and regulations which the city legislative body may prescribe.

(2)The city shall not be liable in any manner on account of the use of the apparatus at

any point outside of the corporate limits of the city. The apparatus shall be deemed

to be employed in the exercise of a governmental function of the city.

(3)All city or fire protection district firefighters, full-paid or volunteer, serving at a fire

or doing fire prevention work outside the corporate limits of a city or a fire

protection district shall be considered as serving in their regular line of duty, as

though they were serving within the corporate limits.

(4)Full-paid firefighters shall receive no additional compensation, and volunteer

firemen shall receive only the compensation provided by ordinance for such cases.

(5)All full-paid firefighters and volunteer firemen are entitled to the benefits of any

firefighters' pension fund or volunteer firemen's fund, the same as if the firefighting

or fire prevention work had been within the corporate limits of the city or the fire

protection district.
