While the EPA may have had a hand, it was the bankrupting of "Blitz" a 120 employee operation in OK that sealed the deal in 2012. They had produced 70 pct of the market at the time.
They were getting sued because idiots were filming themselves pouring gas from containers on active fires. Not surprisingly to even the most casual observer, the fire ran up the stream, much to the instigators apparently drunken, chagrin.
Get enough of those posted and it becomes a "it's for the kids" moment.
We're from the government and we're here to help.....or something....
In fact there is a documentary about the travesty they endured before closing.
Here's one perspective -
