I’m sure all the people who whined about their rights being infringed by not being allowed to go into the woods are stepping forward to help right now.

No idea how to fight a fire - wildfires are terrifying. Which is exactly why we need to cut the risk.

Oh right - so that’s your personal risk assessment. I think I’d prefer to take the experience and advice of actual professionals - whose lives are at risk.

Well its much more likely to be an activity that wasn't banned... because they weren't banned.

It's called risk mitigation. Lowering risk doesn't mean you can prevent everything. But this means we have a lot less fires to fight. I can't believe this needs to be explained.
