FIRE PROTECTION OUTSIDE CITY
In all instances where the city is asked to furnish direct fire protection for areas beyond the corporate limits where there is no reciprocal contract with another political subdivision to provide fire service for the city in the case of emergency, the service shall be furnished on the following basis. For each dollar of taxable valuation of buildings and structures in the areas to be protected, the city shall charge $0.010 per year for such direct protection. The amount to be paid shall be based on the most recent tax duplicate available at the beginning of the taxable year. In instances where the area to be furnished direct fire protection is not on the tax duplicate, the charge shall be $0.010 per year of 40% of the actual cash value of the buildings and structures in the area to be protected, actual cash value being determined as replacement cost of the buildings and structures less normal depreciation. At the discretion of the Safety Director, a credit, not to exceed half of the total amount above, may be given for structures on the parcel(s) that meet current fire suppression standards as set by the Ohio Fire code and the Ohio Building Code.

The Mayor, Safety Director, Fire Chief or duty officer of the Fire Department is hereby authorized, by a verbal order or subject to written regulations, to provide for the response of the city fire personnel and equipment to emergency calls outside the city.
