Where an emergency situation is caused or exacerbated by a willful act, a negligent
act, or a violation of the fire code, building code, or any other applicable law,
ordinance or regulation, the cost of emergency service to mitigate and secure any
emergency that is within the responsibility of the fire chief is a charge against
the person who caused the emergency or who caused the circumstances leading to the
creation of the emergency, and such person shall be liable for the costs of such services.
Damages and expenses incurred by any public agency providing emergency services or
mutual aid shall constitute a debt of such person and shall be collectible by the
fire chief for proper distribution in the same manner as in the case of an obligation
under contract expressed or implied. Costs and expenses as stated above shall include,
but not be limited to, equipment and personnel committed and any payments required
by the public agency to outside business firms requested by the public agency to mitigate
or secure the emergency, monitor remediation, and clean up.
