Default Burn bans and rc turbines.

So I'm new to turbines and the last two years my club issues a turbine ban (has for a while now) whenever there is a burn ban of any kind. This leaves the turbine rc jets not much days they can fly in the fall, and summer. Club officials say it's to dangerous! So how dangerous is it to fly during a burn ban versus any other day? We are not flying in 25+ mil winds and when it's gusty. How do other clubs deal with the burn ban. My club has run off all the turbine jets at this point and can't wait to pounce on the burn bans when there issued. The other club I fly at has no turbine ban during burn bans and have been told by the fire marshal it's not a concern to them that the bans are for air quality and intentional combustible fires, not what ifs.

Are we getting sinlenced by clubs by this order or, or is it valid and if so how will this affect the rc turbines in the future? I haven't been able to fly at my home club since I started flying turbines.
