I'm sorry to report that Ahlborn Equipment purveyors of the Forester brand chainsaw and forestry parts and equipment has suffered a roof collapse from heavy snow load. They are somewhat local to me and we've had near a record book topping level of snowfall this year and quite a few places are finding out the hard way about the construction of their roof. This news found me via word of mouth and I can't confirm anything just yet, but it sounds like their warehouse was flattened. No one was there at the time as far as I have heard so that is good indeed. I will try best I can to keep up with this story as it unfolds and if anything was not accurate report on that as well as all I have to go by for now is the word of mouth, which we know can get distorted the further it goes on. I am friends with a member of the Ahlborn family, although not directly with the equipment company will eventually get me the rest of the story as they say.
