What is going on in this photo?

Lara is working in a burned area doing what is called, mop-up. Mop-up is work that involves extinguishing or removing burning material near control lines, felling snags (hazardous or fire-weakened trees), and trenching logs to prevent rolling after an area has burned. It involves hard physical work, such as digging, moving heavy material, stirring water into ash pits, and more. It helps make the fire safe, reduces smoke, and ensures the fire is completely out. Here is a video showing some mop-up activities:
