Teams

Chain Saw Response Team- Michigan has many wind storms that leave fallen trees and debris in their wake. The Chain saw/Debris Removal Team was formed to help fill a void in the cleanup of this debris. Our chain saw operators are trained in the safe handling, operation of chain saws and in the importance of using the correct safety equipment and apparel.
