    Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) Incident
  • Description:

    On a prescribed fire in West Virginia, a UTV operator was approaching a log that was encroaching the dozer line. They had been made aware of the log earlier in the day, but as they neared the log, they saw that there was a line already
    blown around it. Seeing this path, they made the decision to drive around the log. The UTV successfully navigated the slope but then rolled upon reentry to the dozer line. There were no injuries and the UTV was successfully righted with no damage.
