PUBLIC SAFETY Rogue River man dies in Northern California logging accident Comment By Ryan Pfeil Mail Tribune Follow @@RyanPfeil MailTribune.com By Ryan Pfeil Mail Tribune Follow @@RyanPfeil Posted Aug. 3, 2016 at 10:21 AM Updated Aug 3, 2016 at 3:43 PM By Ryan Pfeil Mail Tribune Follow @@RyanPfeil Posted Aug. 3, 2016 at 10:21 AM Updated Aug 3, 2016 at 3:43 PM » Social News A Rogue River man died Monday in a logging accident about 16 miles northeast of Eureka, Calif. Travis Jon Cornelison, 31, was working on a commercial operation in the Blue Lake area, located near Timber Ridge Lane, at about 9:30 a.m. when the accident occurred, according to a news release by Humboldt County sheriff's Chief Deputy Coroner Ernie Stewart. Cornelison, a tree faller working for Eureka-based Lord's Light Logging company, died when the tree he was felling suddenly fell in an unexpected direction and struck and killed him, the release says. Trevor Enright, a deputy coroner for the sheriff's office, said the tree was a Douglas fir about 2 feet in diameter located on private land. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office and the California Division of Occupational Safety & Health responded to the scene. Cal-OSHA is investigating, which is protocol in such incidents, Enright said. A call to Lord's Light Logging Wednesday was not returned. The Fallen Timber Fallers and Loggers Facebook page dedicated a post to Cornelison Tuesday. "Rest easy brother. You won't be forgotten," the post said.
