Document Description
The proposed project is located on private property used primarily for cattle ranching. In order to adequately prepare for the fire season, fire crews require firefighting training in handline construction in order to effectively develop control lines constructed by hand (known as "handlines") on going wildland fires. Fire crews are organized in a line with hand tools used for a specific function. Tools typically used in handline construction include first and second chainsaws as lead for cutting brush followed by pulaskis for chopping, grubbing, root and stump removal, trenching and, for line completion, McLeods and shovels are used to scrape a portion of the line to bare mineral soil.
