ALMA WILSON, Justice:
As a result of a burglary in August, 1984, the Fretwells sued Protection Alarm Company, which installed and maintained a burglary alarm system in the Fretwells’ residence. In a negligence action the Fret-wells claimed that the alarm company had failed to notify the police department of a cut in their telephone service, which is the line that carried the alarm signal; that they failed to use the house key supplied by the Fretwells to check the residence; and that they failed to call the list provided by the Fretwells of persons to be notified in the event of an alarm.
