 A fire chief or other authorized officer of a fire department, in
 charge of a fire scene which involves the protection of life or
 property, may direct an operation as necessary to extinguish or
 control a fire, perform a rescue operation, investigate the existence
 of a suspected or reported fire, gas leak, or other hazardous
 condition, or take any other action as deemed necessary in the
 reasonable performance of the department's duties.  In exercising
 this power, a fire chief may prohibit an individual, vehicle, or
