The problem came when I didn't enable the float on the blade so when I went down the hill towards the fire, the blade jammed against the ground really hard, and I couldn't push the button to unlock the lift. My weightless rear wheels were slipping and I couldn't back away from the fire! Finally I figured out how to get the button to push and I was able to back up.

Here is a video of the operation:
