Dangers
A few wise words from a fellow Pyrotex:
Hello and welcome to our site. You probably have already read all of our other information and discovered how awesome fire is. Unfortunately, we also have to talk about the boring part: Safety. Fire is really amazing and makes peoples lives easier, but it is also very destructive and deadly. In the U.S.A. someone dies to fire every 162 minutes.
This is probably either due to carelessness or just might not be preventable.
Fire can give you many injuries. The main ones are burns (and believe me those really hurt). It can also cause carbon dioxide poisoning. It affects your lungs and will make you die a very painful death. These are some reasons you should not be playing with fire in areas with many trees or people. You should always have water with you to put it out and you should NEVER let the fire get out of control. It should always be kept under control. If you do stuff like that you can end up in jail. So remember fire is fun but extremely dangerous.
