What is the burden on the advocates of the fireman's rule?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Farmer v. Union Oil Co., 141 Cal.Rptr. 848, 75 Cal.App.3d 42 (Cal. App. 1977):
Furthermore, I read Rowland v. Christian (1968) 69 Cal.2d 108, 112, 70 Cal.Rptr. 97, 443 P.2d 561, as putting the burden on the advocates of the fireman's rule to establish that an exception to the [75 Cal.App.3d 55] general principle is "clearly supported by public policy." I do not believe that burden has been met.
