The total amount collected may not exceed the reasonable cost of providing those specialized rescue services and may not, in any event, exceed $125 per hour per vehicle and $35 per hour per firefighter. The fee may be charged to any of the following parties, but only after there has been a finding of fault against that party by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration or the Illinois Department of Labor:

        (a) the owner of the property on which the

    specialized rescue services occurred;

        (b) any person involved in an activity that caused or

    contributed to the emergency;

        (c) an individual who is rescued during the emergency

    and his or her employer if the person was acting in furtherance of the employer's interests;

        (d) in cases involving the recovery of property, any

    person having control or custody of the property at the time of the emergency.

    For the purposes of this Section, the term "specialized rescue services" includes, but is not limited to, structural collapse, tactical rescue, high angle rescue, underwater rescue and recovery, confined space rescue, below grade rescue, and trench rescue.
