OFF-ROAD VEHICLE ADVISORY
Due to the dry conditions, low precipitation, high winds, and warm temperatures, in all areas of our RM, the RM of Frenchman Butte would like to ask that you refrain from using Off Road Vehicles on public lands to help keep our area fire free.
Off-Road Vehicles pose a high risk for ignition from exhaust systems and/or direct contact with exhaust and sparks from mufflers and piping from these vehicle types. These can ignite ditches, trail systems and woodland areas with tall grass, crop residue, dead vegetation, and brush etc.
This advisory includes all off-road vehicles including ATV’s, UTV’s, dirt bikes etc.
Please note: required agricultural and/or industrial operator use on private land, is exempt from this advisory. We would like to remind everyone to ensure your Off-Road Vehicle has a spark arrestor inside the muffler to trap any escaping sparks, carry fire suppression equipment, such as a fire extinguisher or a pail and shovel, to extinguish any fires that might occur.
Extreme caution and continuous monitoring are advised.
Thank you for your cooperation!
