§ 209-p. Relay of fire and emergency calls. The fire department of any
city may accept any calls for aid in cases of fire or other emergencies
made to its fire headquarters from territory outside the city and may
relay such calls for aid in fires or other emergencies by such means as
may be expedient to the fire department, fire company or fire district
serving said territory. This section shall apply only to cities
participating in any legally authorized or recognized plan for
furnishing mutual aid in cases of fire and other emergencies in which
the services of firefighters would be used. Any city, village or fire
district, any town which has a town fire department, or any town board
on behalf of a fire protection district, fire alarm district or
territory outside any such municipal corporation or district, for which
aid is to be furnished, may contract with a city to accept and relay
such calls, as aforesaid, and the amounts payable under any such
contract shall be a lawful charge against and paid as contracted for by
the city, village, fire district, town which has a town fire department,
fire protection district, fire alarm district or territory outside any
such municipal corporation or district. Any city accepting and
transmitting fire calls from territory outside the city, pursuant to any
such contract, shall not be liable for any injury or death to persons or
damage to property as the result thereof, when it, in good faith,
complies with or attempts to comply with the provisions of this section.
