	Fire Eating and Fire Breathing FAQ
		Fire Eating and particularly Fire-Breathing is possibly the most dangerous and potentially injurious art to be found in circus, theatre and street performing.
		There is a very real danger of a blow-back, where the flame simply runs back along the stream of vapour, burns the performer or sets fire to their clothing or hair.
		It may be useful to have a large towel or small blanket within reach so that a fire may be smothered or wrapped in it.

	Fire Eating Safety
		When fire eating, it is not necessary to completely seal your lips around the metal skewer in order to extinguish a flame, and therefore, it is never necessary to come into contact with this part of the skewer.
		The best fuels to use for fire eating are similar to those commonly used for fire twirling, but of the odourless and tasteless varieties.
		Though it is possible to fire eat with kerosene (or Parafin) for example, it is a rather unpleasant experience.

	Fire breathing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fire breathing is the act of creating a large flame by spraying, with one's breath, a flammable liquid upon an open flame.
		To increase safety, fire breathers must avoid highly explosive fuels such as alcohol, spirit-based fuels, and most petrochemicals, instead using safer combustibles with a high flash point (>50 °C) and relatively low burn temperature.
		Vapor Stunts use the vapors (as opposed to liquid fuel) collected in the mouth (usually during an extinguish, see: fire eating) to light or keep a flame burning for what are usually smaller stunts.

	Fire Eating
		Fire eating is different from fire handling, where you can safely pass through or hold flames without any serious damage.
		"Eating" fire is actually about covertly exhaling as you close your mouth to put out the flame, but never touching the metal torch with your lips or other soft tissue.

	Non-juggling Fire Props
		FIRE EATING consists of using one or more flaming wands to transfer flames to the tongue and then light another wand with them, extinguish a wand, transfer small amounts of lighted fuel to the skin, hold a lighted wand in your mouth, and so on.
		Fire eating exposes your mouth and lips to a significant amount of fuel, so the use of anything other than the purest kerosene or grain alcohol will result in eventual poisoning.
		Another risk in fire breathing is the "blowback," where the cloud of fire flows back to your mouth, igniting any fuel remaining there and exploding any fumes remaining in your lungs.

	Book review of Mark Tebeau, Eating Smoke: Fire in Urban America, 1800-1950
		“If war, famine, disease, and death were the four horseman of the apocalypse, fire surely could have been a fifth.” From an apocalyptic precept that is as startling as it is convincing, Mark Tebeau’s Eating Smoke: Fire in Urban America, 1800-1950 proceeds to narrate the history of its subtitle’s subject in immense and impressive detail.
		Similarly, one yearns to hear Tebeau’s thoughts on the role fire played in other phases of American history or in the development of other major metropolitan areas of the world.
		In the same way, the Great Fire of London, the source of so many vivid accounts and not a few fanciful ones, and a catastrophe intriguingly associated as much with progress and renewal as it was with death and destruction, could have prompted some very interesting comparative discussion.
