• D. A brush for cleaning equipment.

Answer: (A)

The Rhino tool is a long-handled tool that looks like a bent fire shovel with a beveled blade, built for scraping, chopping, and digging. This combination lets you clear and shape firelines efficiently: you can scrape away duff and loose soil, chop through small roots or brush, and dig to loosen soil or create a mineral-soil strip to slow fire spread. The bevel helps cut through tougher material, and the bend in the handle gives leverage and keeps your hands away from the ground as you work. It’s a specialized tool for brush line construction and maintenance, not a rake, screwdriver set, or cleaning brush.
