A Field Guide to Fires

A Field Guide to Fires….

Tanya Ruckstuhl-Valenti

Rule Number 1: Remember, fires are H-O-T. That lovely warmth becomes a searing pain if you forget all you know about too much of a good thing.

Rule Number 2: Supernovas beware: the faster it burns, the faster it burns…out.

Rule Number 3: Fires consume both oxygen and fuel. We are either one or the other, never both. Opposites attract because they are necessary.

Rule Number 4: Only pyros and film producers want wild fires. A fire needs attention to burn safely.
