Murphy, J.
(dissenting). I would reverse the circuit court’s order granting defendants’ motion for summary disposition for the reasons stated in the previous majority opinion in this case. Stehlik v Johnson, 204 Mich App 53; 514 NW2d 508 (1994). I further question whether driving upon the public highway in a normal fashion, even if it could be concluded that the officer was on patrol, is the type of risk contemplated by the fireman’s rule so as to bar recovery for a police officer injured by a negligent driver. See Woods v City of Warren, 439 Mich 186, 192; 482 NW2d 696 (1992).
