4646 REVIEW DENIED The Government Code's broad grant of immunity to public entities from negligence liability in fighting fires or in failing to maintain adequate fire departments means that the entities have no duty to persons or property damaged by the fire, and in an action by the entity for firefighting costs against persons responsible for causing the fire the immunity precludes defenses based on comparative fault of failure to mitigate damages.CitationPEOPLE exrel GRIJALVA v SUPERIOR COURT (Firefighting Costs) 159 CA4 1072 [See: H&SC 13009, 13009.1; GovC 850 etseq; People v So Cal Edison 56 CA3 593; Munoz v City 148 CA4 173, T/AT 8/04]
