ARCHER, Justice
(concurring).
I signed the majority opinion and concur because it does not foreclose fire fighters and police officers from bringing a cause of action which includes but is not limited to allegations of wrongdoing or negligence after they are on the scene; alleged negligence rising to the level of wilful, wanton, or intentional misconduct; a situation in which injuries occurred when the buildings were open to the public for business; allegations that the owners misled the plaintiffs regarding the condition of the buildings or the nature of the activities carried on *505inside; allegations that defendants had a present ability to warn of dangers on the premises; or allegations that defendants intentionally set a fire or that the fire was a product of illegal activity.
Kreski, 415 N.W.2d at 192-93.
These additional comments on situations where the rule might not apply are tendered as an attempt at giving necessary guidance to the trial court in proceedings on remand. I.C. § 1-205.
There is no suggestion that the comments are all-inclusive. It would seem that where the Court is willing to legislate a fireman’s rule into existence, it should assume the obligation to further spell out the parameters of the rule and exceptions thereto. Being but one of five, I am not the Court.
