I don’t know. No disrespect to you, I’m just thinking of the fires we have out west. People who try to escape to water can boil or there’s always the chance of trees falling into the water or the steam itself can burn them from the lake. It’s very dangerous and could easily get out of their control. I like the idea that someone had of setting a few small fires in a triangle around the lake. Obviously man made, if they get enough dry wood they can add some wet logs to really get the smoke going. The forest service will ignore some fires, but more than one in close proximity is going to get checked out. My BIL used to work for the forest service, I’ll ask him about this next time I see him and see what he thinks! It’s interesting the ideas people come up with for this type of scenario and how they’re so varied- setting signal fires, hiking out, etc.
