Description
We granted certiorari to review the court of appeals decision in Sisneros v. City of Grand Junction, 940 P.2d 984 (Colo. App. 1996), to determine whether the City of Grand Junction and Does I through IV (defendants) are immune from tort liability pursuant to the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, sections 24-10-101 to -120, 10A C.R.S. (1988) (the GIA). Urban and Cynthia Sisneros sued defendants for damages that resulted when a hose fell from a city fire truck, allegedly causing personal injuries and property damage. The Mesa County District Court (trial court) dismissed the claim for lack of subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to C.R.C.P. 12(b)(1), finding that the GIA rendered defendants immune from suit. The court of appeals reversed and remanded for further proceedings on the issue of defendants immunity. We hold that defendants are entitled to immunity under the GIA. Therefore, we reverse and remand to the court of appeals.
