shall be required for a fire watch as a result of a fire protection
system failure or deficiency, or fire and safety at any occupancy,
except that this article shall not apply to a one- or two-family residential

be on duty.
Cost of personnel may be recovered by each respective fire district at a rate of $40 per hour, per man. The costs shall be waived for those organizations set forth in § 189-17. Each fire district shall be responsible to invoice owner/occupant, collect fees, and disperse fees to personnel under such procedures as they shall develop.
