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.

Craig and the crew are back at home, logging a local block called Badger; Kylee discovers Badger's logging road is no less treacherous than Gollen; heavy snow buries Brent's plan to haul logs off of one of his blocks.
