No, all new ATV's come with forestry approved "spark arrester". So I would not think that comment has any truth to it. He must be jealous, keep on Scrambling!!

You said, "new ATV's" there are many older quads with no spark arrestor. But in the end, its just one more way to outlaw ATV's on public land..

In extreme fire hazard areas, ALL vehicles, even automobiles, may be excluded. Extreme risk to life and property justifies exreme measures.

Spark arresters, as far as I know, are required in all USDA Forest Service areas for ATV's and dirt bikes as well, where and when off-road vehicle access is permitted.

While "paranoids have real enemies too," temporarily banning vehicles (including ATV's) from extreme fire hazard areas doesn't in itself constitute harassment of ATVers.
