Rumor about quad ban on may long?

[catman1]

Hey guys I heard a rumor at work that there is going to be a quad ban in Alberta for may long this year. Cuzz of the forest fires and dry condition. Just wondering if it's true or not?

Was going to go to outwest next weekend.

Definitely a rumor, I just called the FYI FIRE line and there isn't even a province wide fire ban (YET). Just make sure you call 1-866-FYI-FIRE before you go out this weekend to see what kind of restrictions are in place in your area.

Perfect. Let's just hope it stays this way

I called Athabasca County they have complete fireban, I'm headed to North Buck in particular and there is firebans around that area..they didn't say anythign about the ATV ban but the website says use ATV's with extreme caution and keep an eye on your exhaust to ensure they are clean and will not cause sparks...

maybe read beachsled post. looks like a ban is coming.

He's saying that there will more likely be ATV bans in the damper areas as this is an environmental concern..mudbogging, etc...

I work for Alberta beach public works and we received a email from the county to follow there fire ban and post signs around the village so I am sure it has to be county wide. Can't speak for any other areas though

It's wet about 3" below the surface but all the grass and brush is very dry out this way.

i do hope that everyone listens, with the recent fires around our province right now, i really don't want to have a repeat of the fires near my home like last year....

exercise fire safety practices including discarding smoking materials properly, using spark arresters on ATV’s and motorcycles......

they are recommending everyone to stop now and then and to make sure that there is no debris in your exhaust. as a lot of atvers and motorcylists do not know that they started a fire

ya maybe in that area but in the maclean, wiperious, ghost, indian graves area's south and west and a little north up to sundre area's are quite wet cause of the snow still left up there. was just out this weekend in the maclean area and in the bush there is still a foot of snow in many areas.

If they are considering banning mud bogging here in Alberta they can go kiss my ass. I'm not stopping because some tree hugger can't afford a quad.
