Procedural Chain Saw Operations Procedural approach to cutting operations begins with assessing the situation, completing a hazard analysis, and establishing cutting area control. Situational Assessment • Observe tree characteristics • Determine soundness or defects • Analyze the tree base • Check surrounding terrain • Examine work area Hazard Analysis • Overhead hazards • Ground hazards • Environmental hazards • Mental and physical hazards Felling Operation Controls • Observe the top • Check for nearby hazard trees • Assess lean(s) & lay • Swamp out base • Brief swamper • Face tree with adequate stump shot • Give warning yell • Look up while cutting • Complete back cut • Use wedging procedure • Use escape route and safe zones • Analyze stump 73
Line Spike The “Line Spike,” or “Coyote,” is a progressive line construction technique in which self-sufficient crews build fireline until the end of an operational period, remain overnight (RON) at or near that point, and then begin again the next operational period. Crews should be properly equipped and prepared to spend two or three shifts on the line with minimal support from the incident base. Safety Considerations • Can line spike locations maintain LCES at all times? • Can emergency medical technicians be on the line? • Can a timely medevac plan be implemented? • Can daily communications (verbal and written) be maintained? • Can food and water be provided daily? • Is each crew boss comfortable with the assignment? Operational Considerations • Meals during line spike operational periods may consist of rations and/or sack lunches. • The line spike generally will not last more than two or three operational periods for any one crew. • Division Supervisors will be responsible for establishing on and off operational period times. • Crews working line spike operational periods will be resupplied on the fireline as close as possible to the RON point. 74
