Question:
With the scenario below, which case law might pertain to the situation?
You are the fire chief for a career municipal fire department located in a state that has not codified OSHA or NFPA standards as state law. Recently, a significant fire occurred in an industrial facility in your city that caused substantial damage. The fire, smoke, and water damage required the facility to close for repairs for several months. The morning after the fire, the facility's manager was quoted in the local newspaper as saying that he did not understand how the fire could have happened. The fire department conducted a fire inspection the day before the fire, and he was told everything looked great. He stated that he would be exploring his legal options against the department and inspector. The fire inspector who conducted the inspection was certified in the state fire academy NFPA 1031 Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire Inspector and Plan Examiner course.
