Fallers & Felling Modules
Yes.
KDT provides fallers as a Faller, Single (one qualified faller) or a Faller Module (two qualified fallers), each with two saws and 4x4 transportation, to cut hazard trees, snags and fireline timber on wildfires and storm-damaged trees after hurricanes.

- Faller, Single
- 1 qualified faller, 2 saws, 4WD/AWD transportation
- Faller, Module
- 2 qualified fallers, 2 saws per faller, 4WD/AWD transportation
- Saws (per faller)

- Method of hire
- Daily, wet; rate includes the vehicle
Burned trees fail without warning, and they kill firefighters. Fallers take down snags and hazard trees along roads, lines, drop points and safety zones so crews can work underneath. They also cut timber that's too big for a crew's sawyers when building line through heavy fuels.
On wildfires, KDT fields fallers in two units. A Faller, Single is one qualified faller with two saws and four-wheel or all-wheel drive transportation. A Faller Module is two qualified fallers, two saws per faller, and four-wheel or all-wheel drive transportation. Every saw is 67 cc or larger with a 30-inch bar, with a spark arrester and chain brake. Fallers are qualified Basic, Intermediate or Advanced, and the unit goes out by the day, wet, with the vehicle in the rate. KDT sends as many singles and modules as the incident orders.
After hurricanes and windstorms, the same skills clear storm-damaged and hung-up trees from roads, homes and access routes. KDT supplies fallers with saws, fuel, PPE and transport.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide fallers and faller modules?
Yes. We supply single fallers and two-faller modules for hazard trees, snags and fireline timber on wildfires, and for storm damage after hurricanes.
What is a faller module?
A Faller Module is two qualified fallers with two saws each (67 cc+, 30 in bar, spark arrester and chain brake) and a four-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle. A Faller, Single is one faller with the same saw and vehicle requirements.
Can fallers work after a hurricane?
Yes. Storm-damaged, leaning and hung-up trees are hazard trees too, and our fallers clear them from roads, homes and access routes.
