What this rig does
Engine 761 is a Type 6 wildland engine — a compact, highly maneuverable apparatus built for initial attack on wildland fires and for terrain that larger engines simply cannot reach. Its small footprint and four-wheel drive let it deploy off-road on steep slopes, down narrow access roads, and into undeveloped land.
