§ 26:2k-60.
In the event of an emergency, the chief executive officer of any volunteer first aid,
ambulance or rescue squad or the mayor or chief executive officer of any municipality
may request assistance from the chief executive officer of any volunteer first aid,
ambulance or rescue squad located in and serving another municipality for the protection
and preservation of life within the territorial jurisdiction served by the squad requesting
the assistance. The chief executive officer of the volunteer first aid, ambulance or rescue squad
located in and normally serving a contiguous municipality to whom such a request for
assistance is made shall, except as hereinafter otherwise set forth, provide such
personnel and equipment as requested to the extent possible without endangering any
person or property within the municipality in which the assisting squad is located
and which it normally serves. The members of any squad providing assistance shall have, while so acting, the same
rights and immunities as they otherwise enjoy in the performance of their normal duties
in the municipality, or other territorial jurisdiction, in which the squad is located
and which it normally serves. If any member of the assisting first aid, ambulance or rescue squad shall, in rendering
such assistance, suffer any injury or death, the member or his designee or legal representative
shall be entitled to all salary, pension rights, workers compensation and other benefits
to which the member would be entitled if the casualty or death had occurred in the
performance of the member's duties in the municipality, or other territorial jurisdiction,
in which the squad is located and which it normally serves.
