    § 21. Assistance  to  other  states,  the Dominion of Canada, property
  ceded to the federal government and to Indian reservations. 1.  Whenever
  a  fire  company or fire department in this state shall answer a call to
  furnish assistance to any political subdivision or territory of  another
  state  of  the  United  States or of the Dominion of Canada, or property
  ceded to the federal government, the provisions of  this  chapter  shall
  apply  with  respect  to  the  volunteer firemen of such fire company or
  department, while such assistance is being rendered or while going to or
  returning from the place from where the  assistance  is  to  be  or  was
  rendered,  to  the same extent and in the same manner as if such service
  had been rendered in or for the area regularly served by such  volunteer
  firemen;  provided,  however,  that  there  shall  be  deducted from any
  amounts payable under this chapter any amounts recoverable by or payable
  to any such volunteer fireman under the laws applicable in the political
  subdivision or territory for which the call for assistance was made.
    2. The  provisions  of  this  chapter  shall  apply  with  respect  to
  volunteer firemen of fire departments and fire companies of other states
  of the United States and of the Dominion of Canada who render service in
  this state in answer to a call for assistance to the territory regularly
  served  by  a  fire department or fire company described in subdivisions
  one to five, inclusive, of section thirty of this chapter and,  for  the
  purposes  of  determining liability for benefits under this chapter, any
  such volunteer fireman shall be considered as a volunteer member of  the
  fire  department  or fire company of the territory for which service has
  been rendered in this state pursuant to a call for assistance;  provided
  that  the  laws  of  the  state  served  by such volunteer firemen, fire
  departments or fire companies, or of the Dominion of Canada, as the case
  may be, contain provisions under which benefits are granted in  relation
  to  volunteer  firemen  of  this  state  who  are killed or injured when
  rendering service in such other states, or the Dominion  of  Canada,  as
  the  case may be, in answer to a call for assistance; provided, however,
  that there  shall  be  deducted  from  any  amounts  payable  under  the
  provisions  of  this chapter to a volunteer fireman of such other states
  or of the Dominion of Canada, any amounts recoverable by or  payable  to
  such  volunteer  fireman  under  the  laws  of  the state served by such
  volunteer fireman or of the Dominion of Canada, as the case may be.
    3. Whenever a fire company or fire  department  in  this  state  shall
  answer  a  call  for  assistance to be rendered to any part of an Indian
  reservation the provisions of this chapter shall apply with  respect  to
  the  volunteer  firemen  of  such fire company or department, while such
  assistance is being rendered or while going to  or  returning  from  the
  place  from  where  the assistance is to be or was rendered, to the same
  extent and in the same manner as if such service had been rendered in or
  for the area regularly served by such volunteer firemen.
