Summary: Fire is a very powerful, useful and dangerous thing. It is very important to learn about fire safety before attempting to start or maintain a controlled fire in a fireplace or bar-b-q pit. It is easy to quickly lose control without realizing it and where most people panic it is better to stay calm and know what to do. A fire is a living being and needs air to survive. This is important to remember when setting the wood to light and how you light it. The type of wood used also has a bearing on the quality of your fire and weather it is for warmth or cooking.
