Smaller dozers, some equipped with 6 way blades for working on slopes, are generally stationed in the mountains. Larger dozers, some with pressure-reducing wide tracks for wet areas are generally located in the Piedmont and Coastal counties. While plowing fire-breaks is the dozer's primary duty, they are also utilized during times of natural disaster to clear debris. In the mountain regions they have also been used to remove snow and even to tow stranded vehicles from impassable roads. Each bulldozer has a Forest Fire Equipment Operator assigned to it.
Some units are also able to fill their own tanks from an available water source.
Units are also supplied with a hose and reel to apply the retardant. In addition, each truck serves as a storage container for a plethora of hand tools and safety equipment. Usually the first unit on the scene of a fire, and the last to leave, the division would find fire suppression a much more difficult task without these important vehicles. These odd looking former military vehicles perform a variety of tasks for the Forest Service. Full-Track can cover rough terrain that would defeat other modes of transprotation.
