  The Development of the Fire Temple (CAIS at SOAS)
I should like to describe some of the main characteristics of the fire temple in various epochs; and to examine whether it is possible to determine a line of development in their construction.
The bases and the bull protomes in the Nabataean temple of Sic, as well as the fact that it was consecrated to Baal Shamin (the God who was held equal to Ahura Mazda during this period) are further indications that the Nabataean temples are to be traced to an Achaemenian model.
In the temples of Susa and Surkh-Kotal the entrance was on the East; in the sanctuary on Kuh-i Khwaga on the north-west, in the Fratadara temple and in the structure annexed to the temple at Hatra in the West and in the temple of Jandial on the South.

 The New Fire Temple of Kerman
From that central fire households would draw the fire they needed for cooking or heating their homes, and so the institution of fire temple came to be, dating back to early Indo-Iranians.

The Fire Temple, alternately known as the Atashgah Temple, the Zarathustra Temple or the Temple of the Fire Worshippers, was, I had thought, one of the great unknown sites in the world.

The hotel manager told me the Fire Temple couldn't be reached from Baku's main Metro lines, but it wasn't far at all from the second stop on the passenger train that skirts the edge of the Abseron Peninsula, the thumb of land on which Baku is situated that juts out into the Caspian Sea.

It is natural to revere fire, for it is one of the primal elements of nature (in modern terms, it is "plasma", one of the four states of matter) and it is one of the things which makes civilization possible.
It is the fire of justice, the symbol of the Divine Attribute of ASHA.
Some of the temples were built around existing fires: there is a famous temple which was built around a natural gas fire(in the oil-rich land of Iran, this could easily happen) which was called "the fire which burns without fuel." But the sacred fires invariably burned wood and incense, as they do to this day.

 Fire Water - Temple News - Music
The reason Fire Water is so unique is because no one in their right mind would actually want to sound like this.
Fire Water's sound is that of a demented circus filled with a thousand drunken scurvy-stricken pirates banging out their anger on broken organs and glass washboards.
To call it music is technically correct, since the sounds were produced on instruments and do have some semblance of song structure, but there is something so wrong with these songs that they defy all conventional definitions of song.

 Fire
The Commission is charged with determining the risk of fire safety needs in the community, evaluating the performance of a fire department, and providing a method for continuous improvement.
Because there is no national standard to judge a fire department, fire service accreditation establishes a well-defined evaluation system and enables elected leaders and city managers to make critical decisions related to fire department staffing and funding.
Accreditation assures the public that the fire department has a specific “mission”, continually evaluates the services provided to the community; encourages quality improvement through a self-assessment process; develops a method to address deficiencies, builds on “organizational successes”, and fosters pride in the organization and the community.

 The Fire-temple at Baku
The Caspian Sea on fire: at dusk, one took a boat out of the harbor, sailing around a promontory until about half a mile from the shore, to a spot where gas wells bubbling to the surface made the sea appear to be boiling.
For unnumbered ages the gas which is generated by the subterranean store of oil has escaped from the fissures in the limestone crag, and the fire of this gas has lighted the prayers of generations of priests, as it blazed and flared away to the heavens.
It often seems as if the fire rolled down from the mountains in large masses with incredible velocity; and during the clear moonshine nights of November and December a bright blue light is observed at times to cover the whole western range.

Members of Iran's dwindling Zoroastrian community are making their annual pilgrimage to the temple in the rocky mountain of Chakchak.
The desert site near the central city of Yazd is holy to the minority whose numbers are said to have halved to 22,000 since the 1979 Islamic revolution.
Zoroastrians are often mistakenly identified as fire-worshippers, perhaps from the presence of fires in their temples and the celebration of "the birthday of the fire" when they give thanks for the warmth and light afforded by fire.
