Fireline Crafter

Motto: "Take of the Load, Get the Work Done"

For wildfire, usually, firefighters should carry several heavy tools and walk miles, which is inconvenient, time consuming, and even health threatening. Our project aims to combine 5 types of tools into one, including a shovel, pulaski axe, cutter, buzzer, and embers thermometer. Combining multiple tools into one for wildfire management will greatly enhance firefighting efficiency and safety. This project will save time, reduce physical burden, and improve mobility, especially in c hallenging terrains. It will lower equipment costs, simplify training, and decrease the risk of strain and injury. The tool's versatility and inclusion of an embers thermometer will enhance response effectiveness and decision making. Using fewer materials will also promote sustainability and reduce environmental impact. Overall, this project promises significant improvements in wildfire management and better outcomes in combating wildfires.
