Syllabus

The trial court did not err when it granted summary judgment in favor of appellees on appellant's claim of negligence arising from a car accident involving a sheriff's deputy. Because the deputy's response to a radio dispatch concerning a residential alarm was a response to an emergency call under R.C.2744.02(B)(1)(a), the deputy's actions while on the emergency call did not arise to the willful or wanton conduct under R.C. 2744.02(B)(1)(a) that must be demonstrated to avoid immunity. Appellees were entitled to statutory immunity from any injury resulting from the accident under R.C. 2744.02 (B)(1). Judgment affirmed.
