Forest fire brigades and emergency agencies are stocking up on professional chainsaws as wildfire risk remains elevated across large forested regions. ODE Technology's firefighting chainsaw models - including the 372 and 450 series - are seeing particularly strong orders.
Built for the fireline
The ODE chainsaw 372 features an air-cooled two-stroke engine, cutting depth up to 450 millimeters and a total weight at or below 6.45 kilograms, suiting earthquake rescue, fire breaching and municipal work. The heavier-duty 450 is aimed at forest firefighting and large-diameter clearance where sustained cutting power matters.
More than a saw
On the fireline, chainsaws do far more than fell trees: crews cut firebreaks, clear escape routes, open access for engines and process hazard trees after burn-through. Reliability in heat, dust and long shifts is essential - and the reason brigades standardize on proven models.
ODE supports tender projects and OEM customization, supplies units with national-level quality certification reports, and keeps stock ready for rapid delivery during emergencies.
With climate patterns extending fire seasons in many regions, the company reports forward orders from forestry, fire and civil-defense customers both domestically and for export.
