Abstract: At 11:30 a.m. on October 2, 2021, an employee working for a logging company was felling an approximate 36-inch diameter 140-foot Douglas fir tree in a wildfire burn area. The employee cleared an escape route and as the tree was falling he retreated approximately 15 feet to the rear of the falling tree. As the tree fell it contacted other standing trees limbs resulting in the limbs being whipped toward the employee. The employee attempted to retreat to approximately 30 feet away from the stump when he was struck in the lower right leg by an approximate 10-foot to 12-foot limb that was 3-inches to 4-inches in diameter. The employee fractured his tibia and fibula and was hospitalized.
