Summary of To Build a Fire

To Build a Fire starts off with a man traveling through dangerous conditions in the wilderness of the Yukon. The man should not be traveling alone, or even at all, in these conditions. He has a dog with him on his journey. The dog, along with an old timer from a neighboring town, both tried to tell the man it was not safe to travel in such cold but he did not listen/see the warning signs from either of them. The man made a mistake trying to build a fire underneath a tree with lots of snow on the branches. This backfired when he was engulfed by the snow and the fire went out. Since he had no one with him to help, he was in some big trouble. Since the man decided he could do it all himself, he essentially caused his own death to occur. He never made it to the camp to see his friends...but his dog did.
