They are not suggestions they are orders, and violating them can be deadly in some conditions. Fire tends to move up hill. You almost always start firelines at the bottom and work up, and it is possible to get ahead of a fire while digging line upslope. It's called a fire line, not a line of fire. The fire line is a trench or area cleared to mineral soil that interrupts the fire triangle. The fire triangle consists of fuel, air, and heat. Remove any one of the three and the fire tends to go out. I 'tends' because you can remove air and the fire will smolder using oxygen from air pockets in the soil. In that case, the fire can reignite when it gets a ready air supply.
