Many of the Polaris rzr models had a recall for the ring and gasket that holds the fuel pump and sending unit in the tank. Apparently some leaked.

yup, but how big ? 2 years ago we were in a 10 acre campfire, made a mad scramble to get out of there, by the time fire was out it was several hundred acres. we had no fire dept capt to tell us what to DOO . it could have gotten much worse. so far looks like similar to other years. need to keep eyes open.

No permit for campfire.

Good point on people making huge camp fires, sparks can travel a distance and start a large fire.

And yes yes you guys left the area due to fires. Scary situation

We have had a few fellows who would light up close to a cord of wood for a camp fire, everyone had to sit 10 ft back from fire. people burnt the front while the back froze!

ya last couple of years has been dry in the west. With a lot of dry grass and undergrowth that will ignite quickly with a slight wind.
something i have been thinking about is what to do in a fire situation in the bush? leave area for sure, but what if you can't. could be deadly in a hurry.

Well saw this first hand in Ft Mac

Have lots of pictures of places that we went into. Fire jumping the road in front of us.

Surprising how hot the windows in the Fire Truck got.

We were evacuated camping on May long from Phillis lake, cause a tenter started a fire and that was the year it was so dry and 30 sum deg hot, and snowed the Monday, the wind came up with the change of weather

Same year they burnt the trees with bugs out at the park boundary, cause the water bomber came from there to cut the fire
