GH Ranch Wildland Fire History

We are a fire fighting, trucking and heavy equipment business that was built around a logging business that we were operating until the timber sales dropped dramatically. Since 1989, we have primarily been doing reforestation projects, both mechanical and handwork, as well as fire fighting.

We initially started in wild land fires with our water tenders, but later added engines and then hand crews. GHR has been on the Region 6 Engine/Tender and Hand Crew agreements since 1994, and worked under EERA's prior to then. We had four 20 person hand crews in the 2003 season, seven Type 6 engines,two Type 2 tenders and 30 time recorders..

We are able to provide both labor and equipment to help sustain healthy forests. We can provide mechanical thinning of large areas to help provide Urban Interface Boundaries or to provide active fire line breaks. We can also provide Engines, Tenders and Hand Crews to fight wildland forest fires.

Our trucking division is able to deliver your loads across the country as well as up and down the West Coast.

G H Ranch belongs to Oregon Firefighting Contractor's Association (OFCA) which is a group of individual companies combining together to provide a stronger voice when working with various agencies to promote contract wildland firefighting companies.
