COA: 209709, Macomb CC: 94-002120-NI
On order of the Court, the delayed application for leave to appeal from the April 21, 2000 decision of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(F)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REVERSE the judgments of the Court of Appeals and the Macomb County Circuit Court, and we REMAND the case to the Macomb County Circuit Court for further proceedings. Where the alleged negligence of the defendant was unrelated to the events that brought the officer to the location where the injury occurred, the fireman's rule does not bar recovery.Harris-Fields v Syze, 461 Mich. 188 (1999).
