OOOOOOOOOOOH and Dont forget to have a friend there to act as a safety (THIS IS ESSENTIAL!!!)
with a fire blanket( or a thick woolen one ie. army blanket) and a bucket of water.
There are other things too so have a peep at the the fire safety section and do a search on it too before you start
Happy burnin

Whenever you're burning, it is also essential to choose the right clothing. There a section on it here, but to sum it up it basically says that all natural fibers are the best since synthetic ones could melt to your skin and cause reeeeally bad burns! So tight(er) fitting non synthetic clothes, like jeans and a t-shirt.

Um, Diemes.
Natural fibres of a loose weave are just as dangerous, they can catch light almost instantly and engulf you in flames.
Jeans are also dangerous if there are any rips or tears in them (ie loose weaves)
PLEASE DON'T SUM UP SAFETY INFORMATIION, you could be entirely responsible for someones death!
Better to provide a link so the information can be digested in full...
