I'll through a little triva out there on the subject of the pulaski. It was invented by a minor named Ed Pulaski who mined just south of Wallace Id. He later became a Forest Ranger.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Pulaski It's interesting reading up on that fire. It was an unusually dry summer. Several fires across WA, ID, & MT were burning. Then a severe windstorm blew several fires together and all hell broke loose. It was so big and fast moving that it was impossible to fight. They could only run. They say the smoke could be seen from western NY state and from Denver. It burned 4700 square MILES and killed 87 people. 28 of them were a fire crew that got trapped and they all died.
