I'm heading down to Henderson Wednesday, taking the 84 through northeast Oregon down to Twin Falls, then taking the 93 to Las Vegas, picking up the JK6 in Henderson...then taking the 15 through Barstow , the 58 through Bakersfield...heading north through Fresno on the 99...eventually ending up in Shaver Lake...anything I should be aware of fire-wise?

Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material producing heat and light with smoke as a by product (hence why visibility is so low in a lot of CA). If one moves to close to a fire the heat will be more than the human skin can withstand and several degrees of burns can occur. 1st degree burn-reddening and mild blistering of the skin (sun burn), 2nd degree burn-blistering and burns through the cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues (the most painful), 3rd degree burn-burns that are full thickness with charing and damage to nerves (less painful than second degree burns due to nerve loss), 4th degree burns-full thickness burns with charring of bone. The humans hand is equivalent to 1% of their body mass. Use this as a tool to estimate the approximate area burned. If one suffers a full circumferential burn to an extremity, burns to the face, respiratory system, hands, or perineum (your junk). The patient should be taken to a burn center immediately.

Hope this helps with your travels. Stay safe out there.

I found a charcoal chimney works much better than charcoal lighter fluid. Just be careful of the embers which may fall out of the bottom. I know how you Hawaiians frown upon shoes...haha.
