Another good one, Tex. Fascinating, and obviously tragic story. This is the first I learned that in wildfires, "that death by smoke and toxic gas inhalation, while common in structure fires because of the confined atmosphere, is virtually nonexistent among wildland fire fatalities." That's a terrible fact. All the more reason to have respect for Smokejumpers.
