(a) Generally. Except as provided in subsection (b) hereof, no fire equipment of the City shall be taken beyond its corporate limits unless, by resolution of Council, at a regular or special meeting prior thereto, it is determined and resolved that fire equipment of the City shall be permitted to leave the corporate limits for the purpose of extinguishing fires.
The City deems it necessary, expedient and in the interest of public safety for certain personnel and equipment of its Fire Division to go beyond the corporate limits of the City to fight fire and thereby to save life or property. Members of the Division shall be considered as acting in the performance and within the scope of their duties in fighting fire or saving life or property outside the corporate limits of the City if and when directed to do so by the Chief or by some person authorized to act for the Chief.
(b) Upon Order of State Civil Defense Agency. The Division shall forthwith move its fire and other emergency equipment and personnel outside the limits of the City when required to do so by Section 81-829.65 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, 1943, as amended.
