Pretty bad ass. Falling hollow trees is bad enough, but falling a hollow tree that's been burning internally for who knows how long, adds a whole different pucker factor into the equation.

Do you even see the hole inside the tree that had burned off? even if the fire is put out the tree is still a danger from crushing any living being in the area.
Just a question? Always wanted to be a class 1 faller and my dad was one and told me about the green and the black, just asking why did you fall the tree in the green while it's burning? Just for the top half? Then buck up the burning in the black? Just curious? TIA
@@Rebecca-1111old trees often have large hollows on the inside a tiny ember blown for miles can land and set the center on fire. We fill the tree up with water/foam in he UK and fell it once it's out this looks intense...
Unbelievable. A really, really dangerous job.A big salute to you sir, and all the others, who are involved in this sort of dangerous work to keep the community safe. May God bless you.
I worked for the US Forest service as well as Cal-Fire for almost 30 years and my experience as a professional faller prior to my career in the fire service was huge. I fell many trees like this one in my fire service career without an accident and am happily retired now!
@@AndreRMeyer now that I see it on a computer screennow it definitely wasn't a conventional bore cut but it did have components of one. Bore cut. That is when you cut your notch into the tree and then instead of doing a conventional back cut you bore through the tree, finish your hinge and cut from the inside out to finish your back cut. You can do a partial conventional back cut which allows you to put wedges in to keep the tree from sitting back on your cut. It is a good cut to know for trees that's are at risk of barber chairing.
I fell all the burning snags for the Gov. and for the province of BC before they would allow fire fighters in to fight fire. This was in the Revelstoke area where there are still 6- 7 feet at the butt Red Cedar and huge Douglas Fir, I made money back then cool job
Was it possible to save the tree by drilling a hole in it and pumping CO2 inside? If it is not possible to save the tree this way, then is it least possible to stop the fire inside?

When I was in my early 20s and had plenty of muscle and strength, I worked for a contractor who got his jobs from power companies, mostly making right of ways for new lines. It was hard work, and I can tell ya that saw that guy is using is not light at all. Im 65 now, and I dought, I could even pick up a saw that big anymore. That guy definitely knows what he's doing. Never saw a burning tree being fell like that.
In a hollow tree, the rotten wood inside is more flammable. If there is an open spot in the trunk that allows air to get in, the fire will smolder until it opens a passage up higher in the tree. The fire will then burn very intensely because the heat causes the air to flow rapidly through the inside. It's the same principle that makes a rocket stove burn so hot.

Why do you have to cut burning trees down in a forest? I can think of some reasons, but I’m very curious why it’s better to cut a tree, than just let it stand there.
It's a matter of controlling when and where the tree lands when it falls. A tree burning like that is a risk that would have to be watched until it falls and burns out. When I was a kid, I found a tree that apparently was hit by lightning and burned. Fragments were in a field that it was close to and the tree had burned and fallen apparently during the storm from the remnants of a hurricane. The trunk was mostly burned up leaving branches laying around it and the stump was just small parts of it sticking above ground. If the surrounding woods had not been saturated, we would have been dealing with a pretty bad fire.
If you look closer the forest floor is all ash and there's half burned trees all around. The fire went through the area but the trees were to wet to fully burn is my guess
Had to show my wife this video so she can see how a real saw on a fire crew works instead of the made for tv crap lie on fire country ....beautiful job

As you can see a small ground fire has gone through, burning the underbrush. Early in the video you can see that there was a hole in the base that allowed the fire to catch hold on the tree. Healthy newer trees are able to withstand fires but when they rot on the inside they are susceptible to burning. A tree like this can continue burning for weeks after the main fire was put out. This means that as it burns internally, it will eventually burn to the top, spreading to the upper portion of the surrounding trees. This is to be avoided. Once a forest fire is up in the top(or crown) of the trees, it becomes incredibly difficult to control. This is why they have to go through and find these trees and cut them down.

@@jeffsnyder210 No. The big Ponderosa Pine probably had an old fire scar and some internal decay, and so when a wildfire burned up to it it got into the punky wood inside. The pie-slice had a gap internally where the rotten wood was that burned away. More oxygen in the rotten wood means it can burn much more readily than sound heartwood.

Great skills awesome Sadly I did this for 3 1/2 years in a row and the higher pay I got was $15 and hour now I do dishwasher for $18 to $25 and hour great but dangerous job the salary really SUCKS

Anyone know why lumberjacks don't just put a stick of dynamite in a hollow tree that isn't on fire?
You guys do an excellent job of cutting and filming, big thumbs up 👍🏻

What stops all that sawdust from catching fire if you can't put the tree out
Saw dust is not flammable. It's dust, it's like trying to burn flour

Shouldnt the back cut be higher and more downward angle? It looks like this tree can fall either way
