Pretty sure they've put out more fires than they've caused.

Yep, that's what I'm saying. A few things at once.
At the end of the day, no matter what rules we enact, nothing much will change unless we also put a lot more boots/eyes on the ground, etc. But that costs a lot of money. Maybe once autonomous drones are more ubiquitous, we could have 'em patrolling all danger areas 24/7, nabbing the idiots in/before the act. heh
Your bias suits you.

one would think it costs a lot less to have more parks people and conservation officers out there than it costs to fight fires due to irresponsible campers smokers partiers and so on

Re: Declare fireban when risk is high
IDK what the actual specific numbers would be. But it seems that governments like to cut parks budgets [personnel] to save money, whereas fighting fires some years are much cheaper than others. A gamble, perhaps? Logic and politics rarely go hand in hand, regardless, so I try not to think about it too much... But I wonder how many people it would take to properly cover all backwoods areas at all times. That's a lot of logging roads, trails, and square kilometres... (I think it's worth it, whatever the cost, TBQH)
Your bias suits you.

No, using your logic, you should be banned from driving because 30,000 other people in BC have caused accidents this year.

I think provincial campgrounds should allow fires.

Re: Declare fireban when risk is high

Like I said earlier, never seen that happen in a pit fire. I also can't find stats that say it has happened, or how many times in BC.

Above what law? What consequences? No one is talking about playing with a fire in the bush. I see you in every forum. I never know what you're talking about and I don't think you do either.

Thought the exact same thing.
Nonsense.

Nor have I.
I don't think there has ever been a wildfire caused from a provincial campsite in time.
I know I have been out at Fintry during a fire ban in the last few years and they were allowing fires.
