Inventions

In 1910 a crew leader Edward Pulaski and forty five men were confronted with a forest fire blow up in Idaho. He found a cave for them to hide in while the giant fire passed. Five died, several others were badly burned. This man later invented a tool for fighting forest fires. It is an axe on one side and a pick hoe on the other. One side to cut brush, the other to scrape a fire line. To this day the tool is called - you guessed it - a Pulaski.
