Thought I would share some pictures from my "summer vacation" in West Texas, stomping out fires for the state.

Great post. Takes me back in time. #8 was the best. Have you ever seen a forestry service fire plow going down the hi way with a highway patrol escort. Get out of the way. Thanks for posting ..

Those big "green" trucks really do earn their keep out in the miles and miles of nothing but more miles and miles. Will go anywhere...

My normal ride back here in Northeast Texas is a 1990 model John Deere 400-G dozer/plow on a single axle International.
