    Heavy Equipment

  • Description:

    More than 30 miles of contingency line were installed on the north end of the Calf Canyon Fire (Santa Fe National Forest, New Mexico) during suppression operations. This involved logging equipment used in the cutting, skidding, processing and decking of material that generated large amounts of activity fuel (slash) piled at multiple points along the contingency line. This is what prompted the ordering and placement of two Air Curtain Burners (ACB) on Division Sierra as a trial to test the effectiveness and efficiency of slash disposal with this relatively new tool for repair work.
