    Heavy Equipment
  • Description:

    The dozer operator's assignment for the day was putting in another blade of dozer line across the ridge and along the black in the Division. Around noon, the dozer operator was working a section of line thick with brush that hid a large boulder. Rolling up on this boulder made the dozer tip over on its side. The operator was wearing his seatbelt which kept him in the cab during the rollover. He was able to remove himself from the cab. He had no injuries. A Dozer Strike Team was able to upright the dozer back onto its track. Ground Support inspected the dozer and found no damage.
