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.

And out west, TFS has larger Type 3 engines that are staffed by local departments. Here is Canyon, TX FD TFS truck, credit to photographer (don't remember who sent it to me).

And then there are multiple dozer teams throughout. Here are some JD650's with plows. Granbury team with boss truck:

And a reserve dozer, used on smaller fires or when there are no more dozers left.
