I've been a firefighter for just over a year in a small town. Not having a lot of experience, I'm wondering why do we vent roofs with a 16" or 18" chainsaw with a chain guard, instead of using a smaller light weight pruning saw like a tree expert would use?
We also have a MS 460R Stihl Magnum with carbide chain. We got the regular chain and bar also in case we have to clear down trees. One of the tuffest saws I have used.
