Don't panic, think before you act, park in an area with the least amount of flammable vegetation. Park on the opposite side of the road from the approaching fire, don't block the road. Avoid sharp switchbacks; they generally indicate a dangerous chimney. Stay in your vehicle with motor running at moderate RPM, air conditioner on, windows closed. Put blankets or heavy clothing against windows especially on the side in which the fired is approaching. Cover yourself with heavy material for protection against heat. Don't leave your vehicle until the fire has passed over.
