Not too familiar with that town but have driven the river valley going North by Spokabe, crossing at remote checkpoint, and following river to Vancouver. Tempting spot for sure. But at bottom of a mountain where weather meets vertical sure has its price.

Wheel bearing or under inflated tire on mountain would cause a blowout, and they can get to 600 degrees without flames when in motion with air cool. Second you stop,they ignite. Doubt driver was adept at handling that scenario, seeing as he pulled up to combustibles in a extreme hot May with wildfire risk off the charts. Water is about only way to get that fire out once it goes crazy.

If Dave stays put, hope you put up a block or poured concrete wall frame. Needs to be stronger than moving mountain mud.
