Fire Poi -
A regular favourite of fire twirlers. Poi is a Maori word and the art of spinning poi originally comes from New Zealand, though can be found throughout the world today. Fire Poi are made of a ball of kevlar wick on the end of a chain that is swung around the body. Usually twirled in pairs, they create a beautiful circular fire trail about the fire dancer.
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.
Ferocious, subtle, bold, beautiful, powerful like a woman.... you mess with her and they would make you realize the strength they bear
This is my fire made from the turf I am saving on the bog.
The back pain will be worth it when I sit in front of this beautiful fire

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."

at least I know my weapon of choice.
if you do break my heart, I hope you know I wouldn't shed any tears for you, I'd shed ink.
and I've already done that, how's that even possible? I mean... you know... it's not like you broke my heart, but ink has been used for you a lot lately.
Dads fire in the back garden... love the swirls in the flames and the long exposure of the 'fireflys' :)
At Kparatao, near Sokode, we attended the fire dance. Tradition tells how the Kotokoli tribe was always feuding with the Tamerma tribe and often women and children were in the huts by the fire when fighting broke out. Not being able to escape quickly, they regularly ended up getting burned. The tribe therefore made a pact with the god of fire – thus the fire dance was born to show their respect and gratification to the god. Not all members of the tribe are able to participate in the dance, which induces a form of trance, only a selected few.
Tonight was the scout/cub/beaver bonfire and fireworks - usually it's held around bonfire night, but as it's half term next week and the opportunity to do it after that would be the following Wednesday, they held it tonight. It was nice because it wasn't raining, it wasn't freezing and you weren't bored of fireworks yet.
I love this shot because I think the fire looks like a dragon on its hind legs. To me, I can see his head reared up giving us a roar with it's wings reaching out towards its head. The rest of the fire is his body.
Can you see it too or am I just being bonkers again LOL
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.
