The Oaks Tree Service was contracted with San Diego County and subcontracted under Phillips and Jordan as part of the wild fire fuel reduction program going on throughout the state of California. As Employee #1 was felling a tree, it unexpectedly snapped beneath his tie-off point. He fell approximately fifty-five feet, and he was killed.
