    Spent the day at a house fire. First due crews couldn't access the scene because of deep snow on the long roadway into the house.Needless to say, things didn't turn out well. Did fire watch for 7 hours, finally shuttled water from our tanker via the Bush Buggy to the scene to extinguish hot spots. 200 gallons doesn't last very long....
