Robust Services for Fire and Forest Management
Wildfire Suppression
Wildfire suppression includes a range of firefighting tactics used to contain and extinguish wildfires. Firefighting efforts in wild land areas require different techniques, equipment, and training from the more familiar structure firefighting found in populated areas.
Grayback’s wildfire-trained crews suppress flames, construct fire lines, and extinguish flames and areas of heat to protect resources, forests, rangelands and natural wilderness. Wildfire suppression tactics are used to protect the wildland-urban interface, where populated areas border with wild land areas.
Prescribed Fire
Prescribed fire an environmentally sound practice used to bring our forests back to a more historical fire resilient state.
After many years of fire exclusion, an ecosystem that needs periodic fire becomes unhealthy.
Trees are stressed by overcrowding; fire-dependent species disappear; and flammable fuels build up and become hazardous. Prescribe fire reduces hazardous fuels, protecting human communities from extreme fires.
Hazardous Fuels Management
Fuels management projects reduce the risk of catastrophic wildland fire while restoring forest and rangeland ecosystems to closely resemble their natural state.
Hazardous fuels are reduced through a variety of treatments that remove or modify wildland fuels, thereby reducing the potential for severe wildland fire behavior, lessening post-fire damage, and limiting the spread of invasive species and diseases.
