TITLE 25 Chapter 4 Article 1 NOTE

CROSS REFERENCES. --Liability of officers and agents for acts performed while fighting fires or performing duties at the scene of emergencies, § 51-1-30.
 
EDITOR'S NOTES. --Ga. L. 1980, p. 1242, §§ 1 and 2, as enacted, purported to amend the Georgia Firefighter Standards and Training Act (Ga. L. 1971, p. 693) which is codified as Art. 1 of this chapter. However, since it has been determined that the 1980 Act, which deals with airport firefighters, was intended to be a new Act rather than an amendment to the Georgia Firefighter Standards and Training Act, the 1980 Act has been codified as Art. 2 of this chapter.
