§ 53155 Emergency Response Cost Limit

• •If you cause an emergency (like a fire or car crash), you might have to pay for the help that comes to fix it.
• •The most you’ll ever have to pay for one emergency is $12,000, even if it costs more.
• •This rule is about money, not about getting in trouble with the police.

You start a small fire in your backyard by accident, and the fire department has to come put it out.

You might have to pay for the fire truck and firefighters, but you won’t pay more than $12,000, even if it cost more to put out the fire.
