Recently, Texas A&M Forest Service employees attending the new employee academy received dozer operations training. Dozers are used on wildfires to remove fuel from the wildfire by constructing fire breaks or containment lines around the fire. This allows wildland firefighters to attempt to keep the wildfire from spreading further by holding it on the fire breaks.

A Fire Dozer getting some action on the #PayfireDozer line involves a bulldozer removing vegetation to create a barrier to help stop the fire from spreading. Dozer and dozer lines are critical to our efforts in getting control of the fire. #firedozer #getyoursmokey_on #pulaskishovelsandmen #thetribeofwildlandff #womenin_fire #Pulaski_shovels_andmen #summercamp #hellyafireseason #americaswildfires #dripandrip #turnandburn#holdthelineandburnitall #ghostridersinthesky..
