Opinion

MICHAEL F. CAVANAGH, Justice.

In these consolidated cases, we are required to further explicate the scope of the fireman's rule. In Gibbons, we are also required to determine whether the exemption from liability afforded by § 401(2) of the civil liability act, M.C.L. § 257.401(2); M.S.A. § 9.2101(2), applies to defendant Elmer Simko.
