Braving the Heat

One small spark can ignite a wildfire. When the flames surge, the only thing standing between devastation and control are the brave men and women that take up arms and respond to the call for help. Wildland firefighting is an act of embracing chaos. There’s no time to overthink, no space for hesitation. It’s a job that demands absolute focus, endurance, and trust. Trust in your own resilience, trust in your training, and trust that when the moment comes, everything from the tools in your hand to the crewmates beside you will work together to hold the line.
No Easy Out—Wildland Firefighter
It’s grueling work with long hours and unforgiving conditions, but there’s a reason firefighters come back season after season. It’s the bond, the camaraderie forged through shared hardship, the unspoken understanding that each person is watching the 
other’s back. For firefighters, dependability isn’t optional—it’s survival. That’s why wildland firefighters don’t just use STIHL tools for the name, they use them for the proven performance and reliability they need in those moments when every second counts.

Essential wildland GEAR

For the Brave

Keeping it light

Wildland firefighters operate in brutal, unforgiving terrain where every ounce matters, so packing light is imperative. Stripping down to the essentials, they carry only what keeps them alive and in the fight—fire shelters, hand tools, PPE, and just enough water and calories to fuel their bodies through the inferno. Out in the field, multi-use gear is king and every item serves a purpose or gets left behind. With fire at their backs and miles to cover, they don’t have the luxury of extra weight—everything packed is chosen with speed, endurance, and survival in mind.
