We are requesting funds to purchase a Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV, similar to a side-by-side or SxS) and trailer for accessing remote fires within our district. Currently we have several engines that are not capable of getting to these hard to reach places. South East Oregon has some very remote areas with challenging terrain.
