They really "smoked" him out.
From LA Times:
Wanting to end the standoff before nightfall, members of the sheriff's
SWAT unit carried out a plan they had devised
for a final assault on the cabin, according to law enforcement sources.
An officer drove a demolition vehicle up to the
building and methodically tore down most of its walls, the sources said.
With the cabin's interior exposed, the officer got on the radio to
others awaiting his order. "We're going to go forward
with the plan, with the burner," the unidentified officer said,
according to a recording of police radio transmissions reviewed by The
Times.
"The burner" was shorthand for a grenade-like canister containing a more
powerful type of tear gas than had been used earlier.
Police use the nickname because of the intense heat the device gives
off, often starting a fire.
"Seven burners deployed," another officer responded several seconds
later, according to the transmission which has circulated widely
among law enforcement officials. "And we have a fire."
Within minutes the cabin was fully engulfed in flames, ending a dramatic
manhunt that captivated the nation.
