Mt. Ascutney Base Lodge Being Consumed by Fire
Took
this about ten minutes ago. Still smoking with a flame once and awhile.
The base lodge was deemed to be unsound for fire fighters to go into
the building to fight the fire. So they are pouring water on it as best
the can. Its going to be smoldering for awhile. But its contained! Whats
more important is the poor fire fighters fighting this in this weather.
You all rock!

If
you ever find a dead animal with quills like this.
Do not handle it, or bring it home and let your friends or family handle it.
If an animal has porcupine quills stuck in it like this there is a good chance it is rabid.
In this case it was tested and was rabid.
Now the family that handled it is going through rabies protocols with their doctor.
