Snohomish County Fire Chief Travis Hots said that his most effective tool has been dogs. Dogs and bare hands.

Those feds just joined in on the search on Tuesday. The local search and rescue teams have been there, practically non-stop, since it happened on Saturday morning and they are exhausted. Yesterday, they also approved a couple dozen local volunteers, community people who know the neighborhood well, to go in to assist in the digging.
