ambulance workers. Insurance contracts issued by the state insurance
fund to insure political subdivisions against liability in relation to
volunteer firefighters or volunteer ambulance workers under the

provisions of this article which are not inconsistent with such laws
shall be applicable in relation to such insurance. The following terms

ambulance workers' benefit law, it shall be deemed the "employer" of
such "employee."
