fire

Ever been spitting distance from an overflowing cauldron of roiling magma? These people have. Says one of the crew,

We became the first people ever to get this close to Marum Volcano's famed lava lake on Ambrym Island, Vanuatu. Coming within 30 metres of the lava lake down a watercourse, it was possible to stand the heat for only 6 seconds. With Fire Brigade breathing apparatus and heat proof proximity suit it was possible to stand on the very edge and view the incredible show for over 40 minutes.

Preschooler Cloe Woods learned what to do in case of fire in a recent fieldtrip. Unfortunately, she had the chance to use that knowledge when her house caught on fire with her and her grandmother in it.  

She made sure her blind grandma had a hold of her shoulder so that she could quickly lead her out of the house. When everyone was safe, including the family dog, she ran to the neighbors and asked them to call 911. 

What is this sorcery and HOW DO I USE IT?

"So what instrument do you play?"

"Well, I play the keyboard, but it gets visualized by A TABLE MADE OF FIRE."

If you have the gold, you can purchase this fire pit yourself here!
