Morgan v. Horton, 707 S.E.2d 144 (Ga. Ct. App. 2011). “This argument clearly undermines the express purposes behind Georgia’s Prescribed Burning Act, OCGA § 12-6-145 et seq. 12 Thus, the plaintiffs’ expert witness affidavit does not create a *200 jury issue on whether Morgan was grossly negligent in this case.”

App. 2005). “The Georgia Prescribed Burning Act, OCGA § 12-6-145 et seq., further developed the General Assembly’s purpose of promoting “the continued use of prescribed burning for community protection, silvicultural, environmental, and wildlife management purposes.”
