A finding that an owner of property protected by this act did not act willfully or maliciously as described in this section is a finding of fact which will not be disturbed unless clearly wrong. Thies v. City of Omaha, 225 Neb. 817, 408 N.W.2d 306 (1987).
In order for action to be willful or wanton, the evidence must show that one acted with actual knowledge that a danger existed and that he intentionally failed to act to prevent the harm which was reasonably likely to result.
