On June 10, 1993, Fireman Bob ran into Ruby's burning house and found her lying in a hallway, overcome by smoke. He picked her up and carried her out to safety. Unfortunately, in his haste Bob was not careful. Ruby's ankle struck a doorway and was broken in several places. This required extensive surgery, so that Ruby was in the hospital for several weeks. On July 1, 1993, Fireman Bob went to visit her in the hospital. While he was talking to her, he accidentally bumped the intravenous needle in her hand, causing her hand to bleed. Infection subsequently developed. The statute of limitations for acts of negligence is two years. On June 18, 1995, Ruby filed suit against both the city fire department, for injury to her ankle, and Fireman Bob, for injury to her ankle and for causing the infection in her hand. Which of the following statements is false?
 
  a. The sovereign immunity defense would likely relieve the city of liability for Ruby's broken ankle as the provision of fire protection is governmental in nature.
  b. Unless there is some sort of savings clause, Ruby's suit against the city for her broken ankle is barred because the statute of limitations has already run.
  c. The doctrine of immunity for government officials, as well as the statute of limitations, would likely bar Ruby's suit against Fireman Bob for her broken ankle.
  d. The doctrine of immunity for government officials, as well as the statute of limitations, would likely bar Ruby's suit against Fireman Bob for causing the infection in her hand.
