I couldn't get this tragedy out of my head last night. On the way to work this morning I kept thinking the same thing. Get the biggest fire going possible. With all that snow there is no chance of burning down the forrest so do whatever it takes to put out as much smoke as possible. So along with the shovel, kitty litter, etc. we should all have saw in the back of the car. Even the little saw on a Multi-Tool would have been able to cut off a lot of branches.
