(1) powers;
(2) duties;
(3) rights;
(4) privileges; and
(5) immunities;
as if they were performing their duties in the political subdivisions in which they are normally employed.

(1) is liable for loss or damage; and
(2) shall pay any expense incurred in the operation and maintenance of the equipment.
A claim for the loss, damage, or expense is not allowed unless an itemized notice of the claim made under oath is served not more than sixty (60) days after the date the claim is sustained or incurred upon the chief fiscal officer of the political subdivision where the equipment was used.
(c) The:
(1) rights;
(2) privileges; and
(3) obligations;
described in this section also apply if aid is rendered outside Indiana and if payment or reimbursement in this case shall or may be made by the state or political subdivision receiving the aid under a reciprocal mutual aid agreement or compact with the other state or by the federal government.
