WLF2305 — Chainsaw Safety for Fire Depts
This course was developed by the NC Forest Service to teach fire personnel the basic safety knowledge needed for chainsaw operations involving wildfire and storm debris removal. This course does not replace S-212, Chainsaw Use and Safety, that is recognized by the National Wildfire Coordinating Group for national chainsaw certification. This basic chainsaw safety for fire departments course covers maintenance, felling methods, and tree defect "watch out" situations and should be offered consistent with the most current guidelines from the NC Forest Service, NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Resources.
