Many people are wondering why those heading out of bounds on ski hills, or skirting closure gates on the Grouse Grind, aren't being fined.
Tim Jones with North Shore Rescue says they're not even remotely interested in considering fines, because it puts even more lives in danger.
"If we have fines and charges, you may have families doing their own rescue operations because they don't want to tell you someone is out there. It will happen, believe me."
Jones says often these rescue operations are done by people not as qualified as emergency crews.
He also says people evade being rescued when fines are in place, making his crews face even more risks.
