Two members of the Kirtland’s Wildland Support Module use skid steer loaders to masticate overgrowth in the eastern-most remote forest area of Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M., July 18, 2019. The team of six wildland firefighters have thinned out 70 acres of forest expanding on the initial fuel breaks that were created since the project broke ground in spring of 2019.
