2. A mode of tariffing referred to in section 1 may not be imposed for the purposes mentioned therein if the request is made when there is a present or imminent danger to the lives or health of persons or animals or to the integrity or legitimate enjoyment of property or if the request is made at the first opportunity once the danger no longer exists or once the event has ended, so that the appropriate inspection may be carried out and the appropriate action may be taken.
Even if the request is made under the circumstances mentioned in the first paragraph, a mode of tariffing referred to in section 1 may be imposed on any person as a result of an action designed to prevent his vehicle from burning if that person does not live in the territory served by the fire protection service of the municipality and does not otherwise contribute to the financing of that service.
