I wrote a couple things about the chainsaws, but Hands-on is the best. Send me your E-mail and I'll send you a copy of what I have on the subject.
Get something good to cut up and I'll come over.
Thanks for the kind words. I did retire from Providence, and am now with the NFPA as Director of Public Fire Protections. I'll still be around presenting here and there.
Stay safe

Good fire 2.5 sty wood framed old farm house. Fire started on the b side wrap around farmers porch from ashes, into the porch ceiling wrapped the house. The original rafters poked through the siding and were attached to the frame of the house, they cut the original rafters out when they installed the new roof over the porch but did not cover the holes, so when the fire entered the ceiling of the porch it also entered EVERY bay on the left and front of the house. Two alarms later here we come!! Good fight and I have a ton of great pics
It should be good. Alot of work by good guys. I am looking forward to it myself
