Arkansas Dozer and truck, on deployment to Texas last year for wildfire protection. Sorry, they were tucked in pretty tight, so not the best shot.

Texas Forest Service uses Regional Fire Coordinators who respond first to major fires and direct state resources to assist local units. I don't have the RFC's truck, but here is the Type 6 that runs with him out of the McGregor, TX office.
