1Opinion of the CourtJustice Cahill
Plaintiffs Sandra Fender, Frank Fender and Colleen M. Poull appeal from the dismissals of their complaints against the Town of Cicero (Cicero) and Cicero police officers, including John Doe(s), Waldemar A. Cruz, Louis G. Mazza and Jerry A. Simek, for negligence in failing to rescue the victims of a residential fire. Defendants argued, and the trial court agreed, that the complaints must be dismissed because defendants were immune from liability under the Local Governmental and Governmental Employees Tort Immunity Act (Act) (745 ILCS 10/1 — 101 et seq. (West 2000)). We affirm.
