shall apply with respect to the volunteer ambulance workers of such

or while going to or returning from the place from where the assistance

is to be or was rendered, to the same extent and in the same manner as

if such service had been rendered in or for the area regularly served by

liability for benefits under this chapter, any such volunteer ambulance

worker shall be considered as a volunteer member of the ambulance

department or ambulance company of the territory for which service has

been rendered in this state pursuant to a call for assistance; provided
