The man will take a log of wood , lit it with the fire. now consider three region of the forest , the west from where the fire is coming, the middle one where the man is standing and the east part. now man will lit up the middle region also.Now fire is coming from west to middle and also the second one will go from middle to east. as some of the middle region region gets burned up , the man will move and stand in the burned region.and hence he can save himself as we know that already burned region will not catch fire again (Obviously the man must have left some of the middle region unburned for himself before putting fire in the middle region) ex :
A..............................B........C.......e..........................D A is at west from where the fire is coming. B is where the man is standing , C is where he puts the fire(the middle region) thus fire will go from A to C and simultaneously from C to D (As some of the CD portion is burned up man will move to e) I think now no further explanation might be needed.
