frequently and fight fire alongside with and in cooperation with Federal, State, and other
private Firefighters. We have been integral in protecting lives and property in some of the
country’s most destructive wildfires for over 10 years. We are capable of providing a variety of
skilled and experienced incident management personnel and quality apparatus for wildland
fire and all-risk emergency incident preparedness, response and disaster relief purposes.
Typical customers of these services include government entities, non-governmental
organizations, and private client groups such as homeowners as well as corporate
landowners of natural areas. WWFS personnel and apparatus can be made available
