The firefighter’s widow filed suit against the heating and ventilation company that sold the water heater, the plumber that installed it, and the homeowner. The case never went to hearing since it was settled during the pre-trial discovery stage, as is commonplace. Research the fireman’s rule in your state, and determine whether it has been modified by statute. Discuss the above incident and whether you believe each of the defendant’s would be found liable under the current status of the rule in your state and whether that is fair and reasonable.
