dozerdriver1962, in CA you can contract for CAL-Fire with only one 8-hour safety "refresher" course in the spring and meeting minimum machine requirements. All info can be found on their website under the Hired Equipment Policy. As of fall 2009, there are over 200 contractors under contract and very little work.
I was on a dozer for many years up north of Redding Ca, Best job I ever had. Miss it every day.
We miss you Bernie. Think of you every brother. Your own untimely end ushered in a new life for your friend. I hope you are smiling down on us all

It all depends on the fire season
Very good
