(a)

All industrial or manufacturing firms located outside the city limits, but within the county, which desire fire protection and other services from the city fire department for buildings, property, etc., shall file a registration form provided by the city clerk or the chief of the fire department and pay the corresponding registration fee as set by the mayor and council.

(b)

Nothing in this section shall imply or allow the furnishing of fire protection to buildings located outside the city limits which are used for or in conjunction with residential purposes.

(c)

The fire protection outlined in this section shall be limited to such vehicles, persons and other resources as the city may possess for the purpose of fire protection, fire prevention and firefighting at the time such assistance is requested. The city shall in no way be responsible for the failure of the firemen to respond, nor the failure of the fire engine or other vehicles to operate properly, nor the failure of the fire department to answer the call because of another call from a firm outside the city limits at the same time.
