Most fire crews use hand tools and a chainsaw to create a break in the fuel available to a wildfire. The hand tools usually consist of shovels, pulaskis, mcclouds, fire rakes, and other cutting and digging tools.
Other tools used to put out forest fires include: water hoses, bulldozers, plough-tractors, and various fire-starting tools (for "burning out" small patches of fuel before the "main fire" arrives), including fusees, drip torches and flare guns.
When conditions are right, and the cost can be justified, helicopters and sometimes planes are used for direct delivery of a flame-retardant substance.
