Good pictures. We had a grass lighting fire on the ranch one day, almost couldnt keep up with it in a dozer.

unfortunately dozers alone can barely ever keep up. or go in really rough country. but I guess fortunately cause that's y I have a job

Love the pics...

Love the thread.... Keep posting the pictures. You can never have enough pics of dozers fighting flames.

Some of the D8K's in those pics look like Walsh dozers, but I am not positive.

Here are some pictures of a fire I was on last year. It burned 450 acres. 2 dozers, 1 helicopter, 1 bomber and various little red trucks running around.

I will have to unpack some of my pictures and scan some in to post.:usa

I am not a full time firepusher. But a few years back the flax straw plant had a fire get away on them and the local fire department hired our 8H to push bales out of the way. That tractor ran 85 hours straight in those few days just my cousin and I trading off and sleeping in fuel truck.

who was the space cadet that rolled that cat off that little embankment? I bet he felt like the hero of the day.
