facilities. In cooperation with the development and operation of plans

for mutual aid in cases of fire and other public emergencies, the warden

or superintendent of any state institution in the department, with the

approval of the commissioner, may authorize the fire department of the

institution to furnish aid to such territory surrounding the institution

as may be practical in cases of fire and such emergencies, having due

regard to the safety of the incarcerated individuals and property of the
