Again using the wind as a guide to the best way to escape a wildfire on foot, if the wind is blowing toward you and is behind the flames, fanning them forward, what should you do?
Answer Run perpendicular to the flames.
Run perpendicular to the flames to avoid running ahead and possibly getting caught by new fires started by flying sparks. You never want to become surrounded by the fire.
