ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 8th day of March, 2016, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED, LIMITED TO the issue set forth below. Allocatur is DENIED as to all

remaining issues. The issue, rephrased for clarity, is:

(1) [Did t]he Commonwealth Court err[] because [§ 601(a)(10), 77 P.S. §
1031] unambiguously provides that the employee must be within the
course and scope of his employment at the time he provides aid and is
injured, not merely be in the course and scope of his employment at the
time of the emergency arose as the Commonwealth Court held[?]

Justice Eakin did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
