Kenworth vs Peterbilt. Both shined up ready to haul our equipment for the spring land clearing season.

In general, vegetation management can be carried out in three different ways: fuel removal, fuel reduction and fuel conversion. All fuel treatments will generally incorporate some combination of these three methodologies. Fuel treatments may also range from many hectares in size to specific trees and ground debris, depending on the objectives and scale of the project. Fuel Removal flammable vegetation is removed. For example removing mature spruce trees adjacent to ones ...home. Fuel Reduction flammable vegetation is lessened. Examples pruning, thinning, mowing, grazing, mulching, hazard reduction burning or pile burning. Species Conversion removal of flammable species and replace with less flammable species. Example is replacing conifers with deciduous species. ~ FireSmart Canada #firesmartalberta #FireSmartCanada #TreeEater #FireSmart #albertafiresmart

Did you know snow can act as an insulator on top of an old winter burn and it can restart as wildfire in the spring? Revisit all your winter burn sites before the start of fire season, March 1st to make sure they’re out! ~FireSmart Canada https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND4wsYoYYrQ #FireSmartCanada... #firesmartalberta #FireSmart #TreeEater See more

"(Vegetation management) projects can serve many different purposes: they can reduce wildfire intensity, severity and rate of spread. Fuel treatments can be moderate or intensive depending on the intended objectives of a government agency, neighbourhood or homeowner implementing them." ~FireSmart Canada #FireSmart #FireSmartCanada #firesmartalberta https://youtu.be/PmcdoRmR_DQ

Vegetation management, broadly speaking, is the augmentation of wildland fuels (vegetation that can contribute to wildfire is known simply as ‘fuel’) for the purpose of reducing the potential intensities and impact of wildfire. Intuitively vegetation management as a strategy for reducing wildfire hazard makes sense: wildfire requires fuel, in the form of vegetation, to burn; if we can reduce the fuel, we can reduce the wildfire. ~FireSmart Canada #firesmart #albertafiresmart #treeeater
