Government Code
Chapter 4. Fire Protection

850.  Neither a public entity nor a public employee is liable for
failure to establish a fire department or otherwise to provide fire
protection service.


850.2.  Neither a public entity that has undertaken to provide fire
protection service, nor an employee of such a public entity, is
liable for any injury resulting from the failure to provide or
maintain sufficient personnel, equipment or other fire protection
facilities.



850.4.  Neither a public entity, nor a public employee acting in the
scope of his employment, is liable for any injury resulting from the
condition of fire protection or firefighting equipment or facilities
or, except as provided in Article 1 (commencing with Section 17000)
of Chapter 1 of Division 9 of the Vehicle Code, for any injury caused
in fighting fires.



850.6.  (a) Whenever a public entity provides fire protection or
firefighting service outside of the area regularly served and
protected by the public entity providing that service, the public
entity providing the service is liable for any injury for which
liability is imposed by statute caused by its act or omission or the
act or omission of its employee occurring in the performance of that
fire protection or firefighting service. Notwithstanding any other
law, the public entity receiving the fire protection or firefighting
service is not liable for any act or omission of the public entity
providing the service or for any act or omission of an employee of
the public entity providing the service; but the public entity
providing the service and the public entity receiving the service may
by agreement determine the extent, if any, to which the public
entity receiving the service will be required to indemnify the public
entity providing the service.
   (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, any
claims against the state shall be presented to the California Victim
Compensation and Government Claims Board in accordance with Part 3
(commencing with Section 900) and Part 4 (commencing with Section
940) of Division 3.6 of Title 1.



850.8.  Any member of an organized fire department, fire protection
district, or other firefighting unit of either the state or any
political subdivision, any employee of the Department of Forestry and
Fire Protection, or any other public employee when acting in the
scope of his or her employment, may transport or arrange for the
transportation of any person injured by a fire, or by a fire
protection operation, to a physician and surgeon or hospital if the
injured person does not object to the transportation.
   Neither a public entity nor a public employee is liable for any
injury sustained by the injured person as a result of or in
connection with that transportation or for any medical, ambulance, or
hospital bills incurred by or in behalf of the injured person or for
any other damages, but a public employee is liable for injury
proximately caused by his or her willful misconduct in transporting
the injured person or arranging for the transportation.
