http://dmcantor.com In June 2002 Valinda Jo Elliot was driving through a northern arizona forest when she got lost. After surviving for over 24 hours without water she saw a news helicopter and started a signal fire to get its attention. It worked and she was rescued. 
Unfortunately the fire was not put out and became the Chediski Fire. Eventually this connected another forest fire and they became the Rodeo-Chediski fire which at the time was the largest forest fire in US history.
