Answer 1

Depends. Answer Below

Step-by-step explanation:

It is possible that the homeowner could be liable for negligence if the firefighter sues. In general, homeowners have a duty to take reasonable care to prevent accidents or injuries that may occur on their property. If a firefighter is injured while fighting a fire at a homeowner's house, and it can be shown that the homeowner was negligent in some way (for example, by failing to properly maintain their property or by failing to warn the firefighter of known hazards), then the homeowner may be held liable for the injuries sustained by the firefighter.
