Alexander Tsaregorodtsev, “Gelios” Fire Theatre Director sais. – Of course, we try to minimize it. But this is what work with fire is! When someone is performin with snakes a slight touch on the costume is enough for the combustible to get into the fabric. If the costume is not made of leather, the clothes become a burning wick.
This kind of ignorance coming from someone calling himself a fire theatre director makes me both upset and angry.
Any professional fire troupe MUST take adequate safety precautions with their costume and set, the same as any other theatre company. This means treating costumes with a product such as flamebar (who make loads of different products for different materials) or firecheck. Once material is treated with the appropriate product it will not catch fire period. You can hold a blow-torch to it for a prolonged period and it will not catch (we tested their claims... and they are indeed true).
My thoughts go out to the poor girl, her family and friends... However by the sounds and looks of things, had proper safety precautions been followed this kind of incident would not - indeed cannot - happen
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
