Craig LeBeau and his crew set up camp in a remote part of the Shuswap Highlands, on the steepest, baddest block any of them has ever seen: Gollen. Things start out well, until bad weather and a stuck truck derail the entire operation. Meanwhile, Brent's clearing a snowmobile trail for a local ski resort but, with so many jobs on the go, a mechanical oversight and impending snowfall may cost him the entire job.

Craig and his crew log a burned section of forest north of Kamloops, but the lethal mix of ash and rainwater takes a toll on the machines and the crew; Brent and his crew clear a fire guard around a client's homestead to protect it from wildfires.
