PT 1: Wildland Fire Dozer Operator- Texas IA- Anderson 3868 Fire

PART 1: Long Lake, Texas- Wildfire started from agriculture equipment sent a fire into nearby woods that then threatened several structures. Area had topography which included several drop offs that I had to traverse with the dozer. A few more dozers were called in to help install firebreaks around the area. No structures were lost in the end. Local VFD also helped in protecting structures.

Thanks for watching! More to come. We're getting into burn season here in GA.

[@steveavis7809]

are you full time in Texas or just there helping out?

[@Wildland_Firefighter]

I work for a Georgia State Agency. We were sent out there to assist in Texas and Louisiana.

Dave, you can sure make that little dozer sing and dance! I can tell from the radio that the forest and other firefighters have a lot of respect for you and your skill!

[@Wildland_Firefighter]

We had a good ole time and didn't lose no structures nor had anyone get hurt. Thats a perfect day.

One dozer is equal to several hundred men, at least!

[@Wildland_Firefighter]

Better than digging line with a handcrew for sure!

Is that a D6K

[@Wildland_Firefighter]

@@licencedtochill9336 From what I remember, yes. Either a D5k or D6k.
