Without knowing the specifics I would guess there was a need to push debris out of the way?  Mulch fire?  Junkyard?

Usually a front end loader either track or rubber tire. Help with removing walls knock down roofs and mop up on structure fires.

Dozers are used for overhaul after a fire usually large commercial building, pallet yards, junk yards. Large single family homes etc. just depends on the need. LA City does the same.

Cool thx

air squad units are they assigned to the aviation department? Or just a squad that responds with the helicopter. I’m sure there has to be some additional training involved

Air squads have a Paramedic on board and are assigned to Air Ops. County did away with the Air Squad Identifier.  Now Copter 14 ect and LA knows who is medic copter for that day or who is Fire.
