Stumbled across this article.
I’ve never heard of these before:
Fire Rakes---The Most Useful Outdoor Tool You Don't Own
“A fire rake is designed to be used as a forest fire fighting tool, but it does so much more! And is invaluable for maintaining nearly any type of acreage.”

Perhaps some other wildfire fighting tools you never saw before...
The McLeod, my favorite; a rake and a hoe. The hoe side can be sharpened and can then chop thru roots and stuff. Also good for trail maintenance. I have one
The Pulaski, another one that I own
The Combi tool; I like the visual effect this one provides, but don't have one.
The McLeod and Pulaski are named after the USFS rangers who designed them in the early 1900's.
Council Tools has lots of excellent quality tools.

McCloud, Pulaski.. You know you were a famous firefighter when an implement is named after you. One other tool that resides in my old fire truck is the Halligan. Not so much for wildfires, though you could probably knock over a tree with it, solid iron. More for breaking open locked doors, opening windows etc.
