Why Into The Fray Exists
Into The Fray LLC bridges the gap between critically needed wildfire equipment and capable owners willing to step in and help protect our forests and communities.
We build organized, ready-to-deploy resources for fast-moving incidents — and as the company grows, we're committed to creating opportunities for veterans to re-engage in service, restoring a sense of operating for a higher purpose through real-world work.
Equipment Owners
Many owners have the capability to perform but not the time to manage registration systems, bids, and government requirements. That's where Into The Fray steps in. Whether you have one machine or an entire fleet, if you can get it to the job site and operate safely and professionally, you may be a fit.
Each partnership is built around scope, equipment type, and the level of support required. Compensation is a share of gross revenue and is discussed directly. You're not locked into full-season commitments — if you have other work, just let us know.
Problems happen in the field. When they do, our job is to stay engaged, solve them quickly, and keep owners supported instead of stranded — from arrival and inspection through the handoff to incident personnel.
