When a fire is in progress, the fire chief or, in his absence, the officer in charge, may in case of urgent public necessity order any telegraph, telephone, electrical, cable TV, wires or poles in close proximity to the fire to be torn down or otherwise disposed of, and he may likewise order any building in close proximity to the fire to be torn down or otherwise disposed of for the purpose of checking the conflagration; however, neither the fire chief nor any other officer or member of the fire department shall unnecessarily or recklessly destroy or injure any building or other property.
