This Fire Breather was in a theme park at Kai Feng. He uses Shao Lin methods to do his act. The substance he swallows smelt like kerosine. He actually drank the contents of the bowl, and swallowed it. He then brings up a portion of it and uses it for the fireball you see. He did this three times from the one drink of kerosene.
While playing a game of poker at a friends place, my girlfriend called me to say that there was a fire across the street. I came home as fast as I could and here's the result.

Fork Fire - June 25, 2020
A quarter-acre fire called the "Fork Incident" broke out off East Flats Road (1N84) in the Barton Flats area, with the cause relating to an illegal campfire.
A reminder that under current fire restrictions campfires are only allowed in Forest Service-provided fire rings at open developed campsites.

This is a picture of a fire at a DCP Midstream plant near Carthage, Texas, on February 11th. I didn't take the photo and don't know who did. The flames were intense enough to burn cars and melt a trailer home across the road, and melt the asphalt of 79. There were no casualties.
This is my fire made from the turf I am saving on the bog.

Huge fire guts New Town restaurants
A RESTAURANT has been destroyed and another one badly damaged after a fierce fire in the New Town.
The blaze, which broke out at the Bakehouse Company restaurant on Broughton Street, was spotted by police and ambulance workers as they tended to an unrelated incident opposite the shop when a woman was knocked off her bike.
The fire was reported just after 8.30pm, and is believed to have started among the electrical wiring within the building.
Around 40 firefighters and 11 appliances battled flames, which also affected the next door Khushi Punjabi restaurant and six newly-developed flats above.
Lothian and Borders Fire & Rescue Service worked through the night taking the structure apart to make sure there was no risk the fire could reignite.
Nobody was injured and the Bakehouse was closed at the time. It is understood there has been extensive smoke damage to both buildings.
Mohammed Akram, who owns Khushi Punjabi and is the president of the Council of British Pakistanis (Scotland), said he had been serving customers when he noticed the thick smoke.
He said: "We immediately evacuated all the staff and customers. We don't know the true extent of the damage yet, but we will not be operating for a few weeks. We're upset as this is a very unpleasant situation, and we'll miss the festival season. We feel numb at the moment, we haven't really taken it in.
"We noticed the fire when our kitchen filled up with smoke, which is very unusual. The building is very historic, so we're glad it has been saved."
The restaurant is not to be confused with the Khushi's Indian restaurant chain, whose restaurant on Victoria Street burnt down in December 2008.
Edward Lonie, who said he had spent £1 million developing the six flats above the restaurants in time for the Festival, said: "I'd just renovated the flats. A friend who was driving past called me to tell me what had happened. It's just fortunate no people were involved."
Keith Shaw, who bought the Bakehouse Company restaurant just six months ago, said: "We don't know anything yet, nobody has told us anything."
Student Sophie Tolley, 22, from Marchmont, said she had spotted the fire as she walked past the Bakehouse. She said: "There were huge flames and a lot of smoke coming out of the building, then the smoke got thicker. It was quite a sight."
Just ten minutes before the fire, police and ambulance workers had been called to aid a 35-year-old woman who had fallen off her bike. It is believed she clipped a wing mirror, causing her to catapult head-first into the road. She was knocked unconscious by the fall and was taken to the ERI with facial injuries.
One resident, who was standing outside the restaurant when people spotted the flames, said: "The girl fell off her bike outside the wine shop next door and lots of people had gathered
Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service said 40 firefighters were at the scene.
The restaurant is on the ground floor of a three-storey building. A spokesman for the fire service said there were no reports of casualties."

Matt always loved the fireplace. When Felicity was a baby, this is what he and Leila used to do, light a fire and spend the night sitting in front of it. He thought they both enjoyed it. She would talk, and he would listen, and now he's sorry that he never had anything to say back to her. But it was enough for him, the timbre of her voice, lyrical and clear, the crackle of the fire, the rustic smell of wood burning, as close to the earth as it gets. It was all he ever needed.
One night, in one of those first tumultuous weeks after it all came out, they were sat in front of a fire just like this. The silence between them was almost comfortable, the way a fight fades and loses momentum, the way anger dissolves into apathy. So they sat in front of the fire, trying to summon a conversation but finding so little to talk about beyond what their children did that day. He tried to reach to her, and at their contact, she jumped back like a shiver.
After a minute, he tried again. He reached out to her, and this time, she eased into it. And so did he. He pulled her close, and for a moment they settled there. Until he caught a glimpse of her eyes - behind the reflection of firelight on their glassy surface, underneath, they were lost and full of so much despair. It gutted him. He couldn't stand the sight of it, so he pulled her cheek to his shoulder and forgot it was there.

notes: cheated a little bit here, if it counts as cheating - I actually took these fire shots a couple weeks ago. I won't count it as cheating though, because once the real project gets under way, I'll have to use my time as best I can to make sure I have a photo to deliver every week. If that means I store up a bunch ahead of time, then so be it! :)
Again, it was hard to pick just one. I also liked the one below with the reflection on the floor. But I think I liked this one just a little bit better.
There's also two more fire shots that were pushed to the second page.
Oh, and sorry for using "The Saddest Story Alive" as an excerpt, lol!

You had a hold on me, right from the start
A grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin' actin' like a fool
Well your kisses they burn but your heart stays cool
All action down my street tonight - the fire brigade were called out to my next door neighbour's house. No casualties and only smoke damage - caused by an unattended chip pan.
A poor image but it was handheld with a 30" exposure!
And still virtually no snow here, although they had to close the runway at Inverness Airport, 40 miles south of here, this morning.
