Mack gets Cal Fire equipment to the hot spots
On the Scene,
On the Job
C
alifornia has had a particularly intense
wildfire season this year, and Mack
®
trucks
have been on the fire line in support. Cal Fire
(California Dept. of Forestry and Fire Protection) uses
Mack Pinnacle models to transport heavy equipment
to wherever the fires are so they can bulldoze new
firebreaks. This Mack is shown at the Camanche Fire
that started on June 17, 2016 and consumed more
than 200 acres. The effort included four helicopters
and more than 30 fire truck companies. Photographer
Bill Lavillie shot the photo on a ridge-top at the east
end of the fire. The dozer had just arrived and the
helicopters were still working intensely on the fire just
below the ridge.
