Acts or omissions of firemen or law enforcement officers. A fire department or law enforcement agency is not liable for the negligent acts or omissions of its firemen or officers or any other persons called to assist it, nor are the individual officers, employees or volunteers thereof, unless:
1. The fireman, officer or other person made a specific promise or representation to a natural person who relied upon the promise or representation to his detriment; or
2. The conduct of the fireman, officer or other person affirmatively caused the harm.
ÊThe provisions of this section are not intended to abrogate the principle of common law that the duty of governmental entities to provide services is a duty owed to the public, not to individual persons.
