Last week in Lake County we held our annual Dozer Swamper Academy! Swampers scout for and guide dozer operators on the fireline, watching for hazards and helping with communications. It is a unique position and can be a stepping stone to operating one of the most critical wildland firefighting machines, the bulldozer. | CAL FIRE Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit

Step up your career as a dozer swamper - an exciting firefighting role that may have escaped your radar. The primary responsibility of a swamper is to serve as the dozer operator’s guide, assisting them in navigating fireline cutting while keeping eyes and ears open for potential hazards in the vicinity. In becoming a swamper, you also gain valuable knowledge about bulldozer maintenance and operation, air attack communications, as well as scouting for obstacles and hazards. | CAL FIRE Sonoma-Lak

CAL FIRE usually constructs fire lines in one of two ways: with fire crews using hand tools, or by #bulldozer. Bulldozers construct lines by removing flammable material down to bare soil. This makes them another valuable resource for California’s emergency response capabilities. | CAL FIRE

Heading out for training on cutting fire lines on the fringes of Camp Pendleton with CAL FIRE/San Diego County Fire! Dozers are a critical tool in the forest firefighting arsenal. Not only do they help crews access fires, but they can help contain them by cutting fire lines like this one. Fires need fuel—which usually comes from decaying trees, brush, or grass.

Some of the sights and sounds from our Dozer 1447 team comprised of HFEO Bohan and Dozer Swamper Escobedo down on the #GiffordFire in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties. There's a bonus clip in there of Tanker 122 delivering fire retardant on the fire. The 31 state fire engines and six dozers our Unit has in operation is the most out of all 21 CAL FIRE Units, giving LNU the ability to cover such a large responsibility area and have the capacity to send aid elsewhere immediately. | CAL FI
