Acts are laws made by Parliament
(1) Any Fire Authority may arrange with the New Zealand Fire Service Commission, or with the Crown, or with any employer of an industrial fire brigade that the services of the whole or any part or parts of any specified brigade or brigades or apparatus shall be available in such circumstances and upon such terms and conditions as shall be agreed upon for fire control, and subsection (2) of section 16 shall apply as though such services were under a contract, agreement, or arrangement made under that section.
(2) Where the Chief Fire Officer of any Fire District constituted under the Fire Service Act 1975 controls a brigade that for the time being holds apparatus received for emergency purposes from the Crown on loan or by way of gift, the Chief Fire Officer shall on call from the Director-General of Conservation or any officer or employee of the Department of Conservation acting as, or as agent for, a Fire Authority, make available any apparatus, together with an appropriate number of brigadesmen, which may be required for fire control:
provided that the Chief Fire Officer shall not be required to make available members of the brigade who are, and apparatus which is, essential for urgent local requirements.
(3) Payment for the use of apparatus and for the services of brigadesmen shall be made on such basis as may be agreed upon, or, in default of agreement, as may be prescribed by the National Rural Fire Authority.
