Delia is the managing director of ABC Ltd. She arrived at the company’s head office to discover the building was ablaze. She called the emergency services and when the firefighters arrived at the scene Delia told them that the contents of her office were extremely valuable and contained irreplaceable items. As such, if they could prevent

the fire spreading there she would reward them with £100 each. The firefighters were

successful in extinguishing the fire and it did not reach Delia’s office.

Assess the likely success of the firefighters claiming the reward. (
