Whether operating independently or in coordination with agency partners, our teams deliver reliable, mission-ready support across a variety of wildfire scenarios —customized to meet the specific needs of each client.

Removal of brush, dead trees, and other flammable vegetation to reduce fire intensity and spread.
- Defensible Space Creation
Establishing clear zones around structures to minimize fire risk and provide safer conditions for firefighting efforts.
- Firebreak Construction
Building strategic barriers—such as cleared strips of land—to slow or stop the progress of wildfires.
- Prescribed Burns
Conducting controlled, low-intensity fires to safely eliminate built-up vegetation and decrease fuel loads.
- Wildfire Risk Assessments
Identifying vulnerabilities and providing tailored recommendations to reduce fire hazards and improve overall preparedness.
SUPRESSION
When wildfires ignite, rapid and effective response is critical. Our suppression services are designed to contain and control wildland fires before they can escalate, minimizing damage to life, property, and the environment. With highly trained fire crews, specialized equipment, and real-time coordination, we respond quickly to active fire incidents. Our teams work alongside public agencies or as standalone support, offering everything from initial attack to extended operations in complex terrain and high-risk conditions.
