Lowe, J.,

concurring.

There is little about governmental immunity that is fair or just, but to immunize a volunteer fire company (as was done below and not appealed), but hold its volunteers liable as individuals, is so unjust that my sense of fair play compels *366a comment. I concur with the majority because it is the law, but my reaction to such law brings me in sympathy with Mr. Bumble’s reflections in Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist.
I am also offended by the fact that here once again is an insurance company insuring an immune agency and I adopt here my reflections concurring in Jackson v. Housing Opportunities Commission of Montgomery County, 44 Md. App. 304 (1979), in that regard.
But in the result here, as there, concur I must.
