Chainsaws were first invented for use in the logging industry to cut down large trees for lumber. As the technology was refined, engines became smaller and lighter, and cutting chains became thinner, smoother, and safer. Chainsaws are now available in a wide range of sizes and weights for applications ranging from small tree pruning through simple firewood cutting, and up to the largest logging saws. They have also become popular tools for sculptors of ice and wood. There are also chainsaws made just to cut concrete.

And they are used in Fire fighting and rescue to cut through roofs and walls (they run a carbide chain called Rapco)
