Question 54 (10 points) It is crisp and windy

Question 54 (10 points) It is crisp and windy fall evening. There a lot of dry leaves all around on the ground. You decide to light up your backyard fire pit. Just when you get the fire going really well your best friend calls and invites you out to a party that you really want to attend. You are in a hurry to get to the party, so you don't put out the fire. A few minutes after you leave, a gust of wind blows a spark out of the fire pit, which ignites the leaves and causes a fire that burns your neighbor John's house 50 feet away. The fire continues to burn for 1 mile and causes a gas station to explode. The explosion damages a nearby electrical line, which shorts out an electrical substation and to everyone's great surprise causes a power failure. The power failure then causes a supermarket 5 miles away to close for 2 days. The supermarket suffers damages of $10,000 in lost profits from being closed 2 days. Identify and analyze all of the elements of negligence to determine whether the supermarket has a good negligence case against you
