One "hot" play...

also why pyro should not be done by high school students. TRAINED PRO's Only even if it comes with directions also. why was it a plug in and it goes system. That would indicate to me that it was cheaply made and most likely homemade. Two big red flags to me. we used flash pots once here at our school, our TD loaded it plugged it into our control box then went back to the booth, (ours was rigged to trigger off a midi signal). but not having a button on the device to set it off is a huge issue.

I've also had to put a Mac600 out with a fire extinguisher, but that's another story.

I want to hear that one!

I was Nathan in Guys and Dolls at a SPiT house. Just before "Good Old Reliable..." the USL leg catches fire complete with flames! We stopped the show and evacuated the theatre. 90 minutes later, the fire department let us back in and we finished the show for the entire audience who had patiently waited outside. When the grand opened there was about 2 minutes of applause. Go figure...

What was the cause of the fire? That had to be scary.

Same as everyone else; drape too close to an elipsoidal. It was an Altman 4.5 x 6.5 if I remember correctly...

That's pretty crazy that one light too close caused the whole thing to burst into flames. I have a tech week next week, so if you'll excuse me, I am gonna go find some wood to knock on!

Theres a really nice hole in one of my HS's borders. a S4 left on for about 4 hours from about 3 feet away. Well at least the fire retardant worked!
