Before GILLETTE, P.J., and WARREN and YOUNG, JJ.


YOUNG, Judge.

Claimant petitions for review of a Board order that denied compensation for a heart condition. The question is whether the referee and the Board properly applied ORS 656.802(2), commonly referred to as the "fireman's presumption." The referee found that SAIF had rebutted the presumption by proving that claimant's condition was not work related, and the Board affirmed. On de novo review, we affirm.
