It doesn’t not apply to farmers, hunting guides, trappers and natives. It would be best practice to carry a fire extinguisher and check your exhaust often.

RZR it's my understanding that the law applies to recreational users.

The forecast is for rain almost every day next week in Edson area so not much risk of chainsaw starting a fire.

Just because you have a job doesn’t mean you won’t start a fire. We had an oil company start a fire with there machine in our area, so if there is a ban it should apply to every user.

Sure thing boss. I don’t think that flys . It doesn’t stop idiots from throwing cigarettes out of their car going down the highway.

It assumes that people with an occupation have some liability insurance I would think.

Most companies operating in the bush would have fire and safety watch . Imho

Lots of assumptions here.
The reality here is that a bit of liability insurance would be a pittance if there was a fire, most companies running OHV’s in the bush don’t have any fire watches and it would be impossible to cover the ground they travel, and farmers, trappers, hunting guides and natives are just as likely to start a fire with their OHV as any recreational user would.
If the likelihood of starting a fire with a OHV is that high then the use of them should be shut down with no exceptions.
