The only time some folks will learn is when the bill for the fire trucks being called comes in.
Last time I heard about this locally, they were charging something like $500 to $1000 per truck. Now... when you think about it, fire departments never send just ONE truck to a fire call, a whole lot of them arrive. The costs add up fast. Not sure if there's a cost for the police and ambulances that tend to follow.
And then, to add insult to injury, the Bylaw or Provincial Parks folks arrive and charge you a lot more for risking the forest/environment. Fun times for all.
