ATV

ATVs were used at the site for different purposes, including transportation and hauling materials in trailers. This offered FERIC the opportunity to install data loggers on the ATVs to measure the surface temperatures at different locations on the ATV's exhaust system. Photo's of debris accumulation on the exhaust system were also taken. These data will be part of the project on ATVs Caused Fires.

Example of data collected on ATVs:

Temperatures (°C) for a 2003 Arctic Cat 500i Automatic. June 24, 2003 during normal work conditions. Fine fuels can ignite at temperatures as low as 204 ° C.
