Firefighters let house burn down

When the article says: ''describing a circumstance in which a party can be held liable for failing to come to the rescue of another party in peril'' you can hold the party in peril as the property of this Cranick guy. The firefighters aren't an independent organization, but a branch off the administration.

You switched over to "Duty to Rescue".

A piece of property cannot be a party. A party is defined as an entity that can bring about a civil action in court. A house cannot bring a civil action to court - it is a piece of wood and has no legal rights. Because it cannot be a party, there is no duty to rescue it from peril it cannot feel. If there were people inside that building (there weren't), the firefighters would have a duty to rescue them. However, the firefighters do not have a duty to put out this fire.

Last post. Seriously.
