Healthy Forest Alliance Receives Fireline Pack Donation from Wolfpack Gear Inc. to Support Prescribed Fire Practitioners in California
The Healthy Forest Alliance (HFA) is pleased to announce a generous in-kind donation from Wolfpack Gear Inc. consisting of 25 Fireline Packs valued at $8,100. This contribution will directly support the training and outfitting of prescribed fire practitioners throughout California, strengthening efforts to improve forest health and reduce wildfire risk.
Prescribed fire is a critical land management tool for maintaining fire-adapted ecosystems and reducing the threat of catastrophic wildfires. Safe and effective prescribed fire operations depend on both comprehensive training and access to reliable, field-ready equipment. The donated Fireline Packs will be used to equip practitioners participating in Healthy Forest Alliance trainings, Prescribed Fire Training Exchanges (TREX), and community-based prescribed burn projects across the state.
“This generous donation from Wolfpack Gear Inc. directly strengthens our ability to train and equip prescribed fire practitioners across California,” said Lynda Cull, Prescribed Fire Coordinator for the Healthy Forest Alliance. “Access to high-quality field gear is essential for safe operations, and these Fireline Packs will have an immediate and lasting impact on our prescribed fire programs and the practitioners who support them.”
Each Fireline Pack donated by Wolfpack Gear Inc. is purpose-built to meet the demanding conditions of wildland fire operations. Designed with durable materials, ergonomic features, and ample storage capacity, these packs are trusted tools for fire practitioners working in challenging and dynamic environments.
“This donation reflects our commitment to supporting the individuals who work tirelessly to protect forests and communities,” said Mike Oberndorfer of Wolfpack Gear Inc. “We are proud to partner with the Healthy Forest Alliance to help ensure prescribed fire practitioners have the equipment they need to train safely and succeed in the field.”
The Healthy Forest Alliance extends its sincere appreciation to Wolfpack Gear Inc. for its leadership in forest stewardship and its continued support of prescribed fire efforts in California.
