Prescribed Fire
Fire is a natural occurrence in nature and is essential to maintaining a healthy balance in our forests and ecosystems. Prescribed fire is a natural way to eliminate hazardous fuel loading which when left unattended may result in catastrophic wildfire as evidenced every year throughout the United States.
Definition:
Prescribed Fire is the controlled application of fire to existing naturally occurring fuels under specified environmental conditions, following appropriate precautionary measures, which allows the fire to be confined to a predetermined area and accomplishes the planned land management objectives. |

Quality Equipment
Mechanical fuels reduction equipment generally consists of a “cutting attachment” and a “prime mover”. The cutting attachment comes in a variety of forms. Common types include a vertically mounted rotating head (slashbuster) and a horizontally mounted cutting drum (mulcher). The prime mover is simply the vehicle that moves the cutting head across the ground, such as an excavator, all surface vehicle (ASV), or a 4-wheel drive tractor.
We use a variety of machines to get your fuels work done right. Attack-One has five different pieces of equipment that perform this operation. We offer an entire fleet of Gyro-Trac mulching machines. Our Gyro-Trac machines maintain a very low ground pressure and are capable of traversing some of the roughest terrain. Our machine virtually leave no footprint. These machines are capable of grinding larger trees 0 inches in diameter at breast height (DBH) up to heights of 60 feet, or as small as a 1 foot tall brush |
