History:
Our business started with Warren and his son
Zayin in 1997 with one engine. Over the years the company has grown
to eight engines and has become an employment
resource for the small timber community of La Grande Oregon.
Our dedication to excellence and leadership on
the fireline moved both Warren and Schin to become wildland
firefighter instructors. Every year we offer both Basic and Advanced
fire courses during the spring and summer months leading up to the
fire season. In addition, we also offer saw classes as well
as the newest refresher training to ensure that all firefighters
operating on the fireline do so safely and efficiently.
Our commitment to leadership and advancement in
the wildland fire environment has enabled us to hire and retain many
outstanding fire fighters over the years and we welcome those who
wish to enrich their lives by providing the public service of
wildland firefighting.
If you would be interested in a wildland fire
fighting career please feel free to call or e-mail Warren Giles at

any questions you may have. We look forward to adding you to our
team. See you on the fireline.
