In cases of fire, the fire chief, or any other person with authority from him, is authorized to cut any telegraph, telephone, power or other wires within the city limits without liability to the city for so doing. Nothing in this section shall be construed to imply that the city authorizes any person to undertake the personal risk of cutting any of such wires or to render it liable for any injury to the person so doing. (Ord. O-10-93 § 4 (part), 1993; prior code § 2-3-29)
