Forest fires are very important for our country’s forests. Especially, forest fires have inflicted great losses on the Mediterranean and Aegean areas. Until the last five years, the forest area loss is too much during forest fires. For our country, forest fires gives great harm to the natural life and besides, forest fires cause economic losses. In this study, Adrasan forest fire area is investigated. Adrasan region is located in Antalya province and this region is a touristic attraction. Adrasan forest fire has occurred in June, 2014. In this fire were burned 140 hectares area and 4500 m³ trees. Burning area is completely Pinus brutia forest. After the fire, the burned area should be planted in a year. Therefore, trees inside burned area should be completely emptied. Products are in the form timber and industrial wood. Average slope of region is changed between 40% and 50%. Within the Adrasan region, firstly, skid road and skid trail for extraction is opened. The slope of skid trail is changed between 10% and 18%. The different type farm tractors are used for skidding of logs to burn area. Inside burn area, chute system is used that installed in a short distance. In this study, wood harvesting operations are investigated in burn area. The cut of trees, skidding or transporting and loading operations are investigated besides. During the forest product operations, the adverse conditions are investigated as ash, dust, high slope, temperature etc. in fire area. Especially, the difficulties of work and study area condition for worker are observed. The some proposal has been made in terms of work safety.
