Fire Safety

  • Flaming Toys does not endorse fire breathing.

  • Only experienced performers should use fire.

  • Fire heads burn time varies depending on the size of the head and the type of fuel you use.  It is suggested you test your fuel and equipment before performing with it.

  • Common fuels used:  White Gas, Lamp Oil (Kerosene.)  These are toxic fuels.  For more information about a specific fuel, receive the Material Safety Data Sheet from the fuel manufacturer.

  • Always utilize a Fire Safety (person that can rapidly cease the fire through the means of fire blanket, fire extinguisher, or water.)

  • Clothing can burn when it comes into contact with your fire equipment.

  • Wear tight fitting clothing as there will be less fabric to catch on your fire equipment.

  • Flame resistant and flame retardant clothing can still be a safety hazard.  Use precautions.

  • Denim, leather, and cotton are most commonly used.

  • Do not wear fabrics with loose weaves, furry items, or dangly items.

  • Consider wetting your hair before performance, or wear a cotton scarf or hat to cover your hair.

  • See chart for more clothing information.

  • Always check your equipment before, during, and after use.  It is common for caribeners to unwind.

  • Fire performance requires insurance.

  • Fuel will spatter from your equipment.  Squeeze off excess gas before use.

  • Fully submerge your Kevlar wick, but do not get fuel on the other parts of your equipment.

  • Always light equipment from the base.  Be sure to not be near your fueling source.

Examples of different materials held against a flame

Material

Time to burst into flame

NOTES (from U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Flammable Fabrics Act)

Rayon

3.0sec

Rayon and other cellulosic fibers (cotton,linen, rayon, lyocell, ramie) ignite easily, burn with a bright flame, smell like burning paper, and leave a white feathery ash. Weave density has a big impact on burning time.

Cotton

4.8sec

Cotton and other cellulosic fibers (linen, rayon, lyocell, ramie) ignite easily, burn with a bright flame, smell like burning paper, and leave a white feathery ash. Weave density has a big impact on burning time.

Denim

5.0sec

Denim is made from cotton in a twill weave. Because it is closely woven it will burn more slowly, but because of the quantity of material, they burn longer.

Silk

7.6sec

Wool and silk (protein fibers) shrink from the flame, are hard to ignite, smell like burning meat or flesh, sputter as they burn and leave a crisp, foamy crushable residue. Although these fibers have natural flame retardance because they are difficult to ignite and burn slowly, fabrics of these fibers often burn easily because of an open fabric weave or knit and dyes or finishes present.

50/50 Cotton/Polyester

9.2sec

Blended fabrics -- cotton and polyester fibers together in one fabric, for example, combine to make a fabric that doesn't burn like either fiber. Blends sometimes are more dangerous than either individual fiber

Polyester*

10sec

Polyester and nylon fibres may be slower to ignite, shrink and pull away from the flame source initially, but eventually will burn with a flame. As they burn, the melting residue holds heat and cools slowly to form a hard bead-like plastic melting residue holds heat and cools slowly to form a hard bead-like plastic residue. A chemical odor is given off. The melting residue is a very high temperature and can cause deep and severe skin burns. Acrylic fibers burn with a flaming, melting drip of molten material. All manufactured fibers burn at a high temperature and*can cause severe skin injury because they shrink as they burn and tend to stick to skin.
