NEW YORK and TORONTO, March 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Epiq, a global leader in technology services to the legal and corporate industry, today announced the acquisition of Fireman & Company, a leading legal management consulting firm. Fundamentally, the firefighters` rule is based on the principle that public safety officials willingly assume the risks associated with their duties. Since the purpose of public safety officers is precisely to counter hazards, the public is not responsible for injuries that occur in the performance of this function. Although the rule is named after the risks and actions of firefighters, the relationship between danger and tasks is similar for all public safety officers and other professional rescuers. The acquisition enables Epiq to provide broader expertise in knowledge and data management and provides Epiq with an expanded range of strategic legal services and innovative technology solutions for its clients. Since epiq founded its Legal Transformation Services group two years ago, the company has experienced significant organic growth in legal advice, flexible legal talent, legal fee analysis, contract review and analysis. This acquisition builds on this growth and Epiq`s highly successful acquisition of Hyperion Global Partners in 2020. In 2021, Epiq was named Best Legal Operations Provider by ALM at the inaugural LegalWeek Leaders in Tech Law Awards. In some states, such as Pennsylvania, courts have not always enforced the firefighting rule. In 1995, the Pennsylvania Superior Court ruled that firefighters are considered “licensees” with respect to landowners and therefore have the same duty of care that any citizen allowed to remain on the property would receive. In previous decisions, such as Mull v. Kerstetter in 1988,[1] in which a volunteer firefighter was injured after falling into an unmarked and unprotected window well, the court ruled that a police officer who enters the country in his or her official capacity and in response to a call for help is generally considered a permit holder. Therefore, the landowner is responsible for notifying the licensee of dangerous hidden conditions on the premises.

The firefighting rule has been heavily criticized for preventing police from prosecuting criminals who intentionally lead them into high-speed chases.
In response to such a case, the California legislature enacted California Civil Code Section 1714.9 in 1982, which overrides the firefighter`s rule if the illegal conduct occurred after the defendant knew or should have known of the plaintiff`s presence. In Minnesota, peace officers are exempt from the firefighting rule by law.§ M.S. 604.06 The Firefighters` Rule (Firefighters` Rule) is a general law or legal restriction on the unlawful acts of public safety officers. In general, the firefighters` rule prohibits firefighters, police officers and, in some jurisdictions, all state security professionals from receiving damages in the performance of their duties, even in cases of obvious negligence on the part of other parties.

Intentional and malicious arson of another person`s property – such as piles of hay or grain, grass, fences or wood – is usually punishable as a misdemeanor. Some jurisdictions classify the crime as a crime. Some laws refer to the burning of cultivated soils. Such legislation exists to prevent catastrophic fires and does not apply to ordinary agricultural acts that are properly performed, such as lighting a plot of land to prepare it for planting.

Often, an agency – such as a state agency made up of forest park conservation officers – is specifically named in the law to take legal action to recover the penalty. Some laws punish a person who lets a fire escape from their own property, even if that escape is unintentional, while other laws provide that a landowner who sets the fire out of necessity – such as a counter-fire used to extinguish another fire – will not be held liable. A person is usually exempt from liability if they legally burn something on their own farm and the fire accidentally spreads to an adjacent farm or forest.
At common law, there is civil liability for damages imposed on anyone who sets fire intentionally and intentionally. Some laws that impose criminal liability for starting certain types of fires also explicitly provide that the person whose property was damaged by the fire may bring a civil action to compensate for a loss.
