agreed as follows :
1 . 1 Services to be provided by City. The City agrees to
provide all fire department services that are provided within
City boundaries to the District excluding the services that the
King County Fire Marshal ' s office provides . The City assumes no
liability for failure to provide fire and emergency medical
protection by reason of any circumstances beyond its control . In

officers and agents of the City shall have discretion as to which
call shall be answered first and shall be the sole judge as to

calls . The City shall furnish all personnel required to perform
the services described above; subject, however, to the discretion
of the City in dispatching and staffing for simultaneous fires
