Man that’s horrible. Looks like structure is still good maybe some 2x6’s and R-panel?

Yeah easy fix, trusses are fine just some 2x6's. It could have been worse.

I would take out some of the smaller ones and the and the ones with the side branches going straight up

do you get paid for cutting any undergrowth

That would depend on the job sometimes I can pulp the undergrowth depending on the size. This is some of our personal ground so I can get away with more pulp then if it was someone else place. The main reason I threw it up there is kind of as an exercise of what can be seen in the real world

If it were my personal ground, I'd do a quick scan for early defect, broken tops, conks, broken ground or depressions where water could accumulate later, and signs of root rot or Laminate disease.

I'd shoot for a stem count per acre that meets a median light and water penetration goal for the site. We did a couple of jobs for BLM on the west side of Burnt Mountain where they wanted 40-45 stems
per acre due to the prevailing winds that hit the site regularly. We did another job for them east of Tioga creek where they only wanted 30 stems/acre or so because of the drier conditions and lesser winds.

Some of my favorite hunting grounds JJ.

Talking with my bud AJ, Wayne lost 9 machines on the Mollala tree farm. There was 3 or 4 other companies logging in there as well that lost machines.

It is sad to see, but I appreciate Ryan giving us a view of this. It's important for people to see the aftermath of catastrophic fires so
that they'll make plans to help prevent them in the future.

Now the big question is will insurance cover the equipment or not.
