§  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 firefighters 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
  firefighters; provided, however, that there shall be deducted  from  any
  amounts payable under this chapter any amounts recoverable by or payable
  to  any  such  volunteer  firefighter  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  firefighters  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 firefighter 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 firefighters, 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 firefighters 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 firefighter of such other states or of the Dominion of Canada,
  any amounts recoverable by or  payable  to  such  volunteer  firefighter
  under  the  laws of the state served by such volunteer firefighter 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  firefighters  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 firefighters.
