Markus was an engineer by day and a scientist by night. He built an internal combustion laboratory within his garage and used fuel from canisters he kept throughout the garage to keep his motor running for his experiments. One night something went wrong with his experiment, and sparks began to fly. The sparks set the fuel canisters on fire. Soon flames engulfed his garage and his neighbor's. Markus is liable to his neighbor under strict liability.

Markus’s experiments involved running a motor with fuel canisters stored in his garage, creating a substantial risk of fire. Under strict liability, someone who carries on an abnormally dangerous activity may be liable for harm the activity causes even without proof of negligence. Because the fire spread from Markus’s garage to his neighbor’s, he is liable to the neighbor under this rule; “True” is the correct choice.
