What did you do to/with your chainsaw today
- Thread starter pagrunt
- Start date
That's exactly what it is, a Fire Fighter's model in their version.
I was a Fire Fighter for 9 years, active duty USAF and we had the Stihl 461 Rescue saw, then again the Air Force bought the best. I cut into 4 roofs with this one while on those calls.

MS 461-R - Emergency services saw
For emergency operations and fire fighting. Additional handle for quick and easy adjustment of the cutting depth, large starter grip and decompression valve for safe and easy chain saw starting, special saw chain plated with impact-resistant carbide plates.

So that's where it began? 🤔
Maybe, but that Stihl Saw had the depth gauge and a 20" bar on a 461 with a yellow 3/8" chain is over kill. Definitely punched a hole in a roof quite fast.
I imagine that eats a chain pretty good, one and done cutting open a car is it?
I grew up with saws, my dad was a logger.
You don't use a chainsaw to open a car..🤣
Hydraulic Rescue Tools.. jaws of life, shears, etc..
Chainsaw was for house fires, you cut the roof for ventilation.

Cool to know about the special Fire Fighter models. I sold my Jonsered Turbo 2145 and kept the Turbo 2149 since has carb issues, let old gas sit in it for years. The guy I sold the 2145 to has hot restart issues. My 2149, I threw STP and Gumout gas treatment in it with fresh 91 non ethanol, will start every so often to see if it is helping. I may have to pull the carb. These are only two strokes I have owned that were trouble free for many years. Only neglect and heavy duty use, cut Oak, Ash and Elm when they were ran, not doubt did them in.
