Fire Away LLC

Fire Away LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in White City, Oregon, supplies heavy equipment rental and leasing services for wildland fire suppression and prescribed burn operations to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates as a sole proprietorship LLC competing exclusively on small-business-reserved vehicles, with all four recent federal awards anchored to the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), the Forest Service's fire-management arm.

Fire Away holds four firm fixed-price indefinite-delivery contracts issued by NIFC between May 2025 and February 2026, all set aside for small business, totaling $1.5 million in combined potential value. Three of the four contracts cover heavy equipment procurement for West Zone regions (5 and 6) in the Pacific Northwest, with ceilings of $250,000 and $500,000 and performance through May 2030. The equipment scope includes dozers, excavators, and miscellaneous heavy construction machinery deployed for both active fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. Contracts require Fire Away to provide equipment, personnel, training, and certifications, with rates reflecting 16-hour daily shift operations and rapid dispatch capability to NIFC dispatch centers in the region. The vendor's customer concentration is absolute — NIFC/Forest Service represents 100% of recent awards by both count and dollar value — and the vendor operates in a single NAICS category (Support Activities for Forestry) and single PSC (Natural Resources/Conservation – Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression).

Activity is nascent. The vendor entered the federal marketplace in May 2025 with two awards and added two more in February 2026. All four contract ceilings run through mid-2030, meaning no recompete cliff appears within the next twenty-four months. Fire Away has not yet placed task orders against these IDIQs in the source data and has no subcontractor role in the federal supply chain.
