Pope, Judge,
concurring specially.
While I concur in the judgment of the majority, I do not agree that the statement quoted in part from appellee’s supplemental brief is a point upon which to base this court’s opinion. I decline to read the quoted statement as appellee’s “concession” on the issue of foreseeability. Rather, in the context created by appellee’s arguments by briefs and the pleadings, the statement is more correctly viewed as asserting that the particular and exact manner in which the fire began was not foreseen by the manufacturer or the injured party. Thus, I cannot agree with the majority’s construction of appellee’s statement as a reason for the judgment.
