Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(745 ILCS 10/5-103) (from Ch. 85, par. 5-103)

Sec. 5-103.

(a) Neither a local public entity, nor a public employee acting
in the scope of his employment, is liable for an injury resulting from the
condition of fire protection or firefighting equipment or facilities.
Nothing in this section shall exonerate a public entity from liability for
negligence by reason of the condition of a motor vehicle while it is
traveling on public ways.

(b) Neither a local public entity nor a
public employee acting in the scope of his employment, is liable for an
injury caused by an act or omission of a public employee while engaged in
fighting a fire.
However, this Section shall not apply if the injury is caused by the
willful and wanton conduct of the public employee.
