Andy carelessly leaves a campfire burning. The fires not only burns down a portion of the forest, but spreads to a nearby chemical plant and causes an explosion. The chemicals spill into the river killing all the fish for a hundred miles downstream. A fishing resort located on the river experiences financial ruin. If the fishing resort sues Andy for negligence, what is his best defense?
