We conclude that Julie Chen owed the plaintiff a duty to use care. The possibility of harm to the plaintiff and its leasehold interest in the event of a fire was foreseeable. Barnes warned her of the risk of fire if the ductwork was cut flush to the ceiling, and she decided to instruct Interstate to perform this work regardless of this significant risk. Given this warning, a reasonable person would anticipate that taking those actions might cause a fire. Therefore, we agree with the court that Julie Chen owed the plaintiff a duty to use reasonable care and may be held individually hable to the plaintiff for recklessness. D Hsiao-Wen Chen and Tea House
