Rayonier Inc. v. United States, 352 U.S. 315 (1957)

MR. JUSTICE REED, with whom MR. JUSTICE CLARK joins, dissenting.

The Court of Appeals, in my view, correctly applied the law as to public firefighters. Congress assumed liability "as a private individual under like circumstances." The immunity of public bodies for injuries due to fighting fire was then well settled. Dalehite v. United States, 346 U.S. 15, 43. Private organizations, except as community volunteers, for firefighting were hardly known. The situation was like private military forces. Cf. Feres v. United States, 340 U.S. 135, 142. Indian Towing Co. v. United States, 350 U.S. 61, presents a different situation.
