By the time the blaze was contained by the local fire department, $100 000 worth of Western's product had been destroyed.

Thames had purchased from Sentinel Insurance third party coverage that entitled it to complete protection from losses that it carelessly inflicted as a result of careless manufacturing processes. Explain how the insurance policies will apply in this case. Who will ultimately pay for the loss created by Thames and sustained by Western? Explain your answer.
