Abstract<\/span><\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This study was initiated upon the request of Alberta Environmental Protection to investigate the relationship between all terrain vehicle (ATVs) and fire ignition within Alberta\u2019s forests. The report summarizes the use of ATVs in Alberta and the specific causes of wildfires associated with these vehicles, describes fire history from 1990 to 2002, reports on other agencies\u2019 strategies to lower the probability of ATV-caused fires in forested areas, and makes recommendations for Alberta.[\/vc_column_text]
