Abstract: At approximately 10:30 a.m., on February 6, 2001, Employee #1, timber faller, for Woodridge Cutting Inc., Employee #1 had cut his way up to a tree near a landing. He then attempted to cut out an escape path so he could cut the tree down. The tree he was preparing was a fir approximately 90 ft tall. On the landing side of the tree there was a dead tree approximately 60 ft tall. The dead tree behind it was somehow connected by the top leaning or a long limb. As the fir fell, the top from the dead tree fell and struck the employee in the leg. Employee #1 was transferred to Sacred Heart Hospital for treatment of a fractured leg.
