Dozer Operations

Within Metro Fire, bulldozers are referred to as "Dozers." The Dozer is a three-piece unit consisting of the Dozer, the Transport, and the Lowboy. Dozers have an enclosed, air-conditioned and protected cab for the safety of the operator. The main function of the Dozer is to fight vegetation fires. The Dozer creates lines that are constructed by blading the ground removing flammable plant material down to bare soil.

The main purpose of the Dozer is to build fire line and rehab the fire line. The Dozer also does recoveries for stuck apparatus and vehicles.
