Who makes a good chainsaw or cutoff saw (i.e. K-12). We going to need both on or new truck company ( 1 truck co. for 8 engine co.'s, but that is a different story). Now before I am chastised by those who think chainsaws have no place in an extrication forum, may I humbly bring up the trees that people run into on occasion?
Actually, we need the chainsaw for ventilation and the RIT team, but the debate is more, shall we say, spirited, here; and I have used both rotary cutoff saws and chainsaws at MVA's. Who makes the best saws for the fire service? Something you can use with those oh so thin firefighter's gloves, not the consumer grade toy we have now. What say you all? Capt. Dan
