Told me once he cut through a ladies back yard taking her chain link fence with him but it saved her house and barns. She wasn't pleased... He worked the fires in south Ga. around Waycross and northern Fla. a few years ago during the droughts. Told me about having to abandon a stuck tractor to fire. It cooked it pretty good but was salvaged later.Told me about not chaining down to go from one hot spot to another and side unloading off the trailers. He was old school and a good man and is missed by the ones who knew him. Hats off to you guys for the job you do.

Doug Claxton. We were at ABAC together. I was an Ag Ed major, he was a forestry major. Great guy, many great memories hunting and shooting skeet, I beat him once which was a great accomplishment.

Shoot I miss running a dozer putting a fire out. From ms. My first fire was over 1,000 acres. Other crews had been fighting it for a few days we came in ran dozers for about 12 hours and got it put out. We normally ran one dozer per fire. But when we stack 3 back to back we made a road threw the wood for firelane. Back then it was 450 John Deere mainly. Now they run 650.

I have a buddy who works with MS in the Northern part of the State. if you miss it, there are contractors that do it. oh yeah, when the head fire is big...we line them up still back home.

Great job maybe next time you can have a rear view also ? So you the trail cut!

Thanks for the suggestion. I was going to ask everyone about that. I see another person wanting another camera angle. I'll save up some more money and get maybe two more GoPros for the front and rear of the dozer.

Looks like a good burn would be helpful to clear out some of those smaller trees and brush

@Wildland_Firefighter

Жыл бұрын

The small pines would be too risky to burn under to remove the vegetation. Their species (think it was slash) doesn't handle fire to well while younger under those fuel conditions. If it was longleaf, then, yes, they could easily have been burnt. Every landowner has their own management plan on how they manage. Some rather wait. Some rather not risk anything.
