California Court of Appeal
Dept. of Forestry and Fire Prot. v. Lawrence Livermore, C074655
In a case involving the interpretation of two mutual aid firefighting agreements, the trial court's grant of summary judgment in favor of defendant, the jurisdiction that received aid, is affirmed where these agreements are not reasonably susceptible to an interpretation that the jurisdiction receiving aid is liable for fire suppression and related costs incurred by the jurisdiction giving aid, if the jurisdiction receiving aid has negligently acquiesced in, or has negligently failed to prevent, known conditions, circumstances, or conduct that might reasonably be expected to result in the starting of the fire.
