When battling large-scale wildfires, firefighters employ a multifaceted approach. They establish fire lines by clearing the surrounding vegetation, creating a buffer zone to contain the blaze. Aerial support plays a crucial role, with helicopters and planes dropping water and fire retardants to extinguish flames. Ground crews use specialized tools like bulldozers and hand tools to remove flammable material and extinguish spot fires. Wildfire incident management teams coordinate these efforts, employing strategies such as direct attack, indirect attack, and containment. Effective communication, collaboration, and coordination among all parties involved are paramount in suppressing large-scale wildfires.
