In a personal injury case against a city arising from circumstances in injured by the negligent operation of a security device (a concrete gate or barrier), dismissal of the action is affirmed where the "firefighter rule," which bars common-law negligence recovery by firefighters and police officers for injuries resulting from risks associated with their employment, required dismissal.
