Fire season shutdown is imminent and Jared's crew races to fulfill a barge of the summer. Chainsaws spark fires, and when a blaze hits the Forever Claim, Jared must make a call whether to end the season early.

After the loader fire, Jared faces a new reality: wildfire threat. Adrian is tasked with reviving a rusted firetruck, while fallers fall high-dollar timber. But when road damage shuts down their main haul route, the operation grinds to a halt.

With pressure mounting after a disastrous first Forever Claim barge and the prospect of losing Float Camp, Jared brings in more crew -- including a gamble on a new Fat Truck driver -- to boost production. Meanwhile, Float Camp Claim races to end strong.

Stretched thin and desperately off-pace, Jared watches a loader tumble down the road; foreman Brad attempts to land his plane in choppy weather but is forced to shelter nearby; Barge Day arrives, but Brad has news for Jared that could destroy the season.

Fallers face gnarly timber challenges, but it will all be for nothing if Jared and crew can't get the 140-ton super snorkel up the mountain. A series of mechanical setbacks threatens to delay the first $100,000 barge royalty, due in less than two weeks.

Facing the devastation of losing the Forever Claim, Jared makes a desperate deal with the powerful businessman who outbid him -- but new challenges could destroy his logging season before it begins.

Only 48 hours remain until the bid deadline, and Jared and his crew race to stack high-dollar cedar before the buzzer rings. One last splash could launch them into the logging big leagues -- or sink the whole company.

In the premiere, Jared finally breaks free of his old business partner and lands a do-or-die shot to buy a legendary, virgin timber claim. With just 10 days to raise $200,000, the crew must battle monster cedars along with an out-of-control fire that threatens not only their massive machinery, but also their lives.
