What We Do

Protect Your Property with Professional Fire Breaks

Fire breaks are strategically cleared strips of land that create barriers against the spread of wildfires. These mineral soil lines stop or slow the movement of fire across your property, protecting structures, timber, and natural resources.

At CALS, we specialize in creating effective fire breaks using professional equipment and proven techniques. Whether you need new fire break installation or maintenance of existing lines, our certified team delivers reliable results.

Our Services

Fire Break Installation Methods

We offer multiple fire break installation techniques to suit your property's terrain, vegetation, and management goals.

Dozer Fire Breaks

Our dozer creates wide, permanent fire breaks by scraping vegetation down to mineral soil. These heavy-duty lines are ideal for perimeter fire breaks and areas with thick underbrush.

  • 8-12 foot width options
  • Permanent mineral soil lines
  • Handles heavy vegetation

Disked Fire Breaks

Disking creates temporary fire breaks by breaking up soil and exposing bare ground. Perfect for food plots, fields, and areas that can be re-disked as needed.

  • Cost-effective option
  • Can be re-established seasonally
  • Ideal for agricultural areas

Chemical Fire Breaks

Herbicide application creates vegetation-free zones without mechanical disturbance. Ideal for sensitive areas or where soil disturbance should be minimized.

  • EPA-approved herbicides
  • Long-lasting results

Fire Break Maintenance

Keep existing fire breaks effective with our maintenance services. We re-clear vegetation, re-disk lines, and reapply herbicides as needed to maintain protection.
