The following excerpt is from Spargur v. Park, 128 Cal.App.3d 469, 180 Cal.Rptr. 257 (Cal. App. 1982):
At bench the record at present does not so foreclose the presence of the independent act or circumstance. Rather, the instant matter now presents a concrete case in which to determine if there are independent acts to which to apply the exception to the fireman's rule which has been approved "in the abstract." (Hubbard v. Boelt, supra, 28 Cal.3d 480, 486, 169 Cal.Rptr. 706, 620 P.2d 156.)
