A vintner whose winery building burned down sued a supply company, alleging that two large tanks that he had purchased from the supply company a month earlier had overheated and caused the fire. The supply company’s defense is that the fire was caused by the vintner’s failure to install modern electrical wiring in the rather old building. At trial, the vintner seeks to establish that the tanks overheated by testifying that, two weeks after the tanks were installed, a supply company employee came to inspect the installation, and the vintner said to him, “You know, sometimes these tanks get awful hot.” Should the vintner be permitted to so testify?
