fund to insure political subdivisions against liability in relation to
volunteer firefighters or volunteer ambulance workers under the
volunteer firefighters' benefit law or the volunteer ambulance workers'

provisions of this article which are not inconsistent with such laws
shall be applicable in relation to such insurance. The following terms
used in this article, unless inconsistent with the volunteer
firefighters' benefit law or the volunteer ambulance workers' benefit

ambulance workers' benefit law, it shall be deemed the "employer" of
such "employee."
