No police agency has the obligation to protect citizens because that is not their mandate. They are sworn to uphold and enforce the laws of their jurisdiction. Supposedly they make the community safer through policing, but they have no legal obligation to protect individual citizens.
I don't think the city fire departments are necessarily obligated outside their city limits, but the county is usually responsible for unincorporated areas like the county sheriff is for law enforcement.
