Does anyone have any history on use and or durability of these saws for fire service?

looks pretty much the same as the cutters edge

Reading through literature on both products, ths SuperVac chainsaw is just a Dolmar (german built) and appears to be just marketed to the fire service with a cut-depth device tacked on.

The Cutters Edge seems to be built and refined specifically for the fire service.

I've heard complaints about both, but a lot of the time knowing how to use and maintain the chain saw is intergral with it's reliability.

Also, don't forget Stihl make chain saws too:
