There is a increidble need for more wildland fire equipementand qualified engine bosses, The urban land scape continues to encroach upon on woodlads putting more and more families in danger, My name is Keith Balka and i have over ten years expierence in his field. To continue to serve my communities i will need a Ford F-550 4+4 with a 500 gallon tank with pump and roll capibilities, also a ultra high pressure foam system, the truck will be built and stocked to NWCG standards. My truck, aswell as my services will also be aviable as mutual aid to our front range communities and will also be avialible for contract through the National Interagency fire Center when more equipement is needed in spefic area's. Often home's and business's are lost due to a lack of resources. In the off season the truck will be used for mitigation work, either through the Forest Service or home owner's and business's that need a defensible space built around there property. This is my dream to continue to be able to continue my service to communities that need our servive
