A shovel lifts the residual brush into a tub grinder. The tub grinder chips the material to be spread across retired log deck areas. 

Structure protection was finished around Crescent Lake. Firefighters blew needles away and removed dead snags and brush around cabins, homes, and other structures to create defensible space.

A dozer spreads the wood chips across the retired log deck areas. These wood chips will help prevent erosion and serve as organic mulch to help the site revegetate.

A feller buncher cut logs to length and places them in piles in a log deck area.

The retired logging decks are covered with wood chips from the residual brush in the shaded fuel break process. 

Firefighters used backpack blowers to blow needles away from structures around Crescent Lake. Removing flammable materials away helps minimize the likelyhood of flames or surface fire touching the structure.

Along with the planning and construction of the shaded fuel break, heavy equipment is used to move salvageable timber that will be hauled out of the area and marketed for sale.
