Fuel Management

Radius Industrial is actively contributing to fuel management and wildfire mitigation through mechanical treatments, specifically by supplying tracked chippers. These machines provide a practical, year-round solution for reducing hazardous fuels in BC's forests. With the increasing demand for effective fire management tools, we are collaborating with government agencies, First Nations, forestry professionals, and contractors to support mechanical treatments in wildfire risk reduction.

Mechanical Fuel Treatments and Their Importance

  1. Chipping and Broadcasting:
  • Provides a viable alternative to piling and burning, which is becoming increasingly restricted in BC.
  • Proven to significantly reduce flame heights and limit fire spread, based on research from California and Australia.
  • Targets small-diameter, unmerchantable softwood trees (6-8 inches and below), which are common in BC forests.
