Build 0001 started with a simple problem: the department's brush trucks couldn't reach the ridge where the fire started. By the time crews got there on foot with packs, the fire had tripled in size. Wildline was asked one question — could a side-by-side carry enough water and gear to make a real difference in those first critical minutes? Six months of prototyping later, Build 0001 answered that question on its first real callout, reaching a spot fire before it crossed a ridgeline that would have put it into heavy timber.
