Some ground is too steep, soft or narrow for a pickup. A UTV (side-by-side) carries crew and a cargo bed down dozer lines, along beaches and across wet fields. At spills and floods it gets crews and gear to shorelines and levees.
On wildfires, NWCG types off-highway vehicles by seating and payload. Every type has two or more seats per row, four-wheel or all-wheel drive, a taillamp and stop lamp, a 1A:10B:C fire extinguisher, and compliance with ANSI/OPEI B71.9 or ANSI/ROHVA 1. Type 1 has two rows, 1,000 lb payload and a rear box of 500 lb or more. Type 2 has one row, 1,000 lb payload and a 500 lb+ rear box, and is the type NWCG notes as most suitable for a permanently mounted pump and tank. Type 3 has two rows, 800 lb payload and a 150–499 lb rear box. Type 4 has one row, 550 lb payload and a 150–499 lb rear box. Helmets come for the operator and every passenger seat, and the transport trailer stays with the vehicle.
KDT supplies UTVs and ATVs with trailers to move them, and slip-on units or cargo racks as needed. Operators are trained on the machines and follow the incident's safety rules for off-road travel.
