   PER CURIAM.

This is a companion case to Firkus v. Alder Creek Lumber, 48 Or App 251, 617 P2d 620 (1980), in which we held that Alder Creek Lumber Company and its carrier EBI Companies, and not the Vocational Rehabilitation Division and its carrier SAIF, are responsible for claimant’s industrial injury. Hence, the award of compensation to be paid by SAIF in this action is reversed.

Reversed.
