ABSTRACT:
A Fire Fighting System includes a vehicle with one or more mounted motors, a fire shield system, and an emergency fire retardant discharge system. The motors are equipped with cutting elements including cutting teeth, paddle teeth, and severe duty fire whips. The fire shield system may include a series of flame and heat retardant coverings placed on all exposed parts of the system to prevent damage from exposure to extreme heat. The emergency fire retardant discharge system distributes chemical fire retardant in the event the fire comes too close to the system. In operation, the vehicle operator positions the system at the edge of a fire line and energizes the motors causing the cutting elements and whips to begin rotating. Once rotating at full speed, the vehicle is advanced along the fire line with the cutting elements cutting and slashing the burning vegetation. Once cut, the burning vegetation is thrown aside by the severe-duty fire whips that rotate to throw the debris back towards the fire. Thus, as the Fire Fighting System advances along the fire line, a fire break is created which is devoid of any combustible material.
