Description
The plaintiffs-appellants Leland C. Baker and Sherry Baker brought this negligence action against the defendant-respondent
Reid Barlow for damages arising out of events which occurred on the fifth day of July, 1969, when Reid Barlow's home caught
on fire. The plaintiff-appellant Sherry Baker was seriously burned when she entered the burning house to remove furniture
and the living room ceiling collapsed upon her. The plaintiffs-appellants contend that the defendant was negligent in failing
to warn Sherry of the dangerous condition which caused her injury. The plaintiff-appellant Sherry Baker is the defendant Reid Barlow's sister; previously she had lived for fourteen years in
the home which caught fire, and at the time of the blaze she and her husband were living in another house located about thirty
yards away. In the early morning of July 5, 1969, the defendant awoke and discovered that his house was on fire. As soon as
his wife and children were safely out of the building, he ran next door to the plaintiffs' home, opened their bedroom door,
and said something to the effect of "Leland, come quick. Our house is on fire." (He apparently did not ask Sherry to come.)
The defendant then tried to put out the fire, which appeared to be located on the roof above the living room, with a garden
hose; but after a few minutes, he decided that this effort was not only dangerous but futile, and instead he began removing
furniture and other valuables from the burning structure.
