An employee was managing a prescribed burn when the fire behavior increased and he retreated to the road. His tool and foot got entangled in vines which slowed his retreat, and the fire encased his route back to the road. This resulted in blistering and second-degree burns to both elbows, both knees, the back of one thigh, the inner thigh, and his nose.
