Go to an area with the least amount of vegetation, such as a stream, Creek, lake or pond, rock Out-Cropping, grazed off areas, logging deck or clear cut area rather than brush. Take advantage of trees, rocks, and low lying areas to shield yourself from the heat. Cover all exposed skin. A shovel held in front of your face may help shield heat. If you have time, try to clear an area around you of grass and flammables. Stay close to the ground while protecting your face, especially your mouth and nose; place a DRY cloth over your mouth and nose to provide some protection to your respiratory system. Fire burns quickly uphill, run laterally or downhill to escape. Run to blackened area; run until completely out of the fire. Once out of the fire, extinguish burning clothing by removing or rolling on the ground.
