Prevent Off Highway Vehicle Wildfires

Stay on designated trails! Stick to established trails and avoid driving through dry grass, brush, or other flammable vegetation. Off-road driving can spark wildfires, so always respect trail regulations and stay on designated paths.
Keep it cool! Ensure your OHV’s exhaust system is in good condition and equipped with a spark arrester to prevent sparks and hot exhaust from igniting wildfires. Regular maintenance helps keep your OHV running safely and reduces the risk of fire.
Avoid risky behavior! Refrain from activities like riding with dragging chains or spinning tires, which can create sparks and ignite wildfires. Exercise caution when driving in areas with high fire danger, and always prioritize safety to prevent accidents.
Be prepared! Carry a fire extinguisher and other emergency supplies on your OHV in case of emergencies. Quick action can prevent small fires from escalating into larger, uncontrollable wildfires. Stay prepared and stay safe on the trails.
Monitor weather conditions! Pay attention to fire weather forecasts and avoid riding during periods of high fire danger, such as hot, dry, and windy days. Adjust your plans accordingly to reduce the risk of accidentally starting a wildfire.
Respect nature! Be mindful of your surroundings and avoid disturbing wildlife habitats, nesting areas, and sensitive ecosystems while riding your OHV. Preserve the natural beauty of the wilderness and minimize your impact on the environment.
Report suspicious activity! If you witness any signs of wildfire or suspicious behavior while riding your OHV, report it to local authorities immediately. Your vigilance and quick action can help prevent wildfires and protect our forests and communities.
