Braziers and woodfires: One may ask, is it worth the effort to bring a brazier, or a portable propane fire pit. In my experience I Christiana have brought a brazier to a few events, but have found that it is one of those type of binges that is really not required. As in British Columbia and other provinces, during the summer in most cases, a fire band may be instated mundanely to protect the forest from FOREST FIRES, and in this case, wood type fires are usually banned. Also a fire cannot exceed a circumference of three feet or be higher than three feet, but with most braziers this is nearly impossible. In Connacht and from my experience most members gather around a center fire pit area, and socialize, therefore the need for a brazier for Phasiani lacus Manerium is usually not required other than our own private events.
If one does bring a brazier to an event, one should not leave the lit fire unattended, and therefore at least when the fire is burning there will be at least one person in attendance with a shovel and water to put out the fire. The brazier MUST BE on a non compositional pad, and should be 18 inches above the ground.
Candles: No candles to be left unattended while burning. If burning and not properly contained the candle will be put out. Puck candles contained in a closed application device are must less dangerous and less likely to tip over and start a fire as tappers can easily tip over when bang into. If using tapers make sure the base is heavy enough and is on a nine inch metal pie pate and not near any combustibles.
Propane devices: these must have a shut off valve, and must have one person at all times over seeing the device. Please do not leave propane heaters on all night in your tent. You may never wake up.
Smokers: definition - ones that light up cigs, cigars, and pipes. First speak with the autocrat. Most outdoor sites will allow smoking but in designated areas. Indoor public sites do not allow smoking inside, and may have rules pretaining to open doorways and window from outside. If on someone else campsite, ask permission before lightling up. Some of Adain members may be offended by your habit. Best way to deal with smoking is not to smoke. Some mundane laws may also prevent you from smoking near or around children as well. If you smoke, please find out from the autocrat where you can smoke, and please do not offend other members with your habit of smoking. Some may torerate your habit, but others will be out spoken and it is usually Christiana that receives the news about your habit. Before closing, make sure not to throw your matches, or butts on the ground. Not only are they offensive to the enviroment they can cause fires. If you smoke carry your own non combustible ashtray, and oh ye please don't leave these items laying around as they are offensive to look at, as the Medieval ages did not have cigs or cigars as these were a product introducted in the 17th century.
Other Devices: These may be other fuel using devices, but all do have the fire issue involved. Please make sure they are not left unattended and make sure that proper fire prevention is taken.
Mundane and autocrat rules: Mundane rules will superseed over all other rules for fire and fire prevention. Autocrat rules will superseed over your ideas, if you can burn or not burn. Some event sites will not allow open fires, camp fires, and or candles. Please check with the autocrat before lighting up.
