(1) This section applies to public land.

(2) The Commissioner may give a direction in writing that a fire trail be established and maintained on specified public land for the purposes of this Part. The direction must provide particulars of the fire trail including its location, and a copy is to be given to each owner and occupier (if any) of the land of whom the Commissioner is aware.

(3) A direction for the establishment of a fire trail may apply to a new fire trail or an existing fire trail or a combination of both.
