Back To Basics: Chainsaw Training (Monday, March 23, 2026)

Sandy Hook VFR welcomed Mission CIT instructors Eric and Justin for an evening training session.

Members broke into two groups, with one session focused on chainsaws and the other going over roof saws. Each instructor covered basic checks, safe use and applications before the groups rotated between the two stations.
