Just got a phone call from my wildland crew on deployment in California. They are enroute from Lebec on their way to the 6 Rivers area near the Oregon border. they spent the night in Fresno along with a few other engines. this morning they found that their engine was broken into.............2 chainsaws, fire hose fittings, and a bunch of misc. gear. Anyone in central California or Sacramento area have any contacts with a Sthil dealer that might have MS391 saws in stock? or other Sthil saws about that size?

Try Jensen & Pilegard. One location on Blackstone in Fresno (559) 222-3731, and another location nearby in Clovis on Clovis Ave (559) 299-3161. They may not have that specific model, but are a full service power equipment store. I purchased all my lawn equipment there.

Sorry to hear of the theft. I hate thieves too!!

Liars and thieves are the worst.

Come on. That's lower than low. Stealing from a fire engine.

They hit our office parking lot again yesterday. Busted the back window on a nice charger. I guess I'll be working from my truck in the parking lot.

Edit....the saws were Sthil MS 461, misc fire hose fittings and a 65 qt Yeti cooler. This was at the Double Tree Hilton @ Fresno Convention Center
Have a really well established member on another forum that is a Stihl dealer somewhere in central cali. I PMed him for recommendations for sourcing replacements for your crew. Will PM you any info i receive back.

California is soft on crime so we have too many criminals, Fresno has had too many for a very long time.

Sorry Gramps, we have had that before as well.... I hope they can get some replacements. I wonder if IC has anything to give them. It takes a certain human to steal from anyone, let alone a friggen fire truck trying to get somewhere to help people. People suck

I can see them wanting chain saws but WTF are they going to do with hose fittings?

That is a "special" section of town........ unfortunately this type of thing is not unexpected there.

The crew is stopping in Redding and picking up 2 new saws this afternoon. IC should be able to restock the fittings taken. They will pick up a new ice chest somewhere along the way...............................damn I'm pissed
