Cypress Fire Protection District, formed in 1993, is a proactive, progressive fire department providing a high level of service and protection to our community. The District contracts out staffing with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) in the San Benito - Monterey Unit. Through this agreement, they provide fire protection and emergency paramedic medical services to approximately 7,600 people throughout 11 square miles within the mouth of the Carmel Valley, and unincorporated portions of Carmel and Monterey. CAL FIRE has greatly evolved from the creation of the State Board of Forestry in 1885 providing primarily wildland fire protection to its current All Risk Fire Department, responding to over 500,000 calls for emergencies each year through contracts such as this one with Cypress FPD.
Cypress FPD has recently purchased an RCU-75 to assist in its fuel reduction efforts. I spoke with CAL FIRE Fire Captain Greg Leonard, who works in the Cypress FPD Fuels Management Program, to learn more.
The RCU75 is designed to work on hard-to-access areas and steeply sloping terrain that requires dedicated equipment to ensure operator safety and operating efficiency. It’s excellent for working in hilly wooded areas, near railroad tracks, power lines, gas and oil pipelines, gardens, roadsides, highways, canals, rivers and lakes.
The RCU75 can be paired with the BL2/RCU mulcher, designed to mulch vegetation up to 6” in diameter. This mulcher features a fixed tooth rotor and Bite Limiter technology that provides higher productivity with even less horsepower due to low power absorption.
