For want of a couple of fire extinguishers - - - -
See "http://www.libertyfoundation.org/index.html" Looking at the picture, it seem like the fire might have been "fight-able" at one point. Note she was destroy by fire - - not the landing.

Jim,
We had a golfer who had a heart attack at a local course a few years back (early 90s). The responding ambulance staff were not golfers. They drove out and onto the 14th green to get to the patient. While they were loading the patient into the ambulance they noticed they were down to the axels of the back wheels. They called for a second ambulance and the patient was transported to the hospital and lived (after by-pass).
They had to drag the ambulance off the green to get it to solid ground. 28 feet long “ruts” for the 4 back wheels. I wish I still had that picture.
As to the B-17, I wish they responding companies had responded with their brush fire units (lighter vehicles). Sorry to see it go because of being unable to reach it with fire fighting equipment. The pilots did a great job.

The remaining B-17 operators have pulled their birds offline for a tip to tail fuel system inspection.
