Neither the state nor any county, city or fire district or other political subdivision nor any firefighter acting as the agent of any of the foregoing is liable for any injury to person or property resulting from the performance of any duty imposed by the authority of ORS 476.520 to 476.590. In carrying out the provisions of ORS 476.520 to 476.590 or while acting within the scope of any duty imposed by authority of the provisions of ORS 476.520 to 476.590, no person shall incur civil liability.
