Tennessee RX Fatality 2006

On April 13, 2006, at approximately 1235 hours, Forestry Technician Mark Stanley was killed in a work-related accident. Stanley and three other Tennessee Division of Forestry employees, whom he supervised, were assisting a landowner with a prescribed burn. During dozer line construction, a standing dead tree was pushed down to eliminate the potential of this snag causing a break-over during the burn. The falling tree struck Stanley in the head, killing him.
