OPINION
CORNELIUS, Chief Justice.
Bernice Allen, Jr. and his wife, Carolyn Allen, sued Bessie Albright seeking to recover damages for personal injuries Mr. Allen suffered when he rescued Mrs. Al-bright from her burning home. The trial court granted Mrs. Albright’s motion for summary judgment. We affirm the judgment.
Both parties agree that the fire at Mrs. Albright’s house was an arson fire set by a juvenile offender, and that Mrs. Albright did nothing to cause or contribute to the fire. The juvenile threw a molotov cocktail under Mrs. Albright’s car, and the resulting fire spread to her house.
