If you encounter a particularly rough patch of ice or snow while shoveling this winter, don’t reach for a can of gasoline like a Midland Park man did this past Friday, police say. Police and firefighters responded to the man’s home on Paterson Avenue where he had set a small fire to try to melt the snow and ice. Once the fire department arrived, they called in the Bergen County Hazmat Unit, who used the Speedy Dry to sop up the gas.

I must admit I have wondered about the flame thrower approach. But we just have too much snow. A stubborn 2x2 patch calls for an ax not a fire. LOL

The problem I see is where does all the melted snow go?
If it doesn't disperse quickly it will refreeze and now you've got a sheet of ice.

I guess they don't have salt and ice melt products in Kentucky. The only other safe way to melt ice is with steam.
