View larger Fire as a Medium Author Tim Deagan on using fire for expression I joined a volunteer fire department when I was 16, after years in the Boy Scouts and on the Red Cross Disaster Action Team, so my love for fire started young. I even bought a fire engine and kept it at my house. Fire is a seductive, powerful, unforgiving, hypnotic force of nature. I burn propane in 100-pound quantities over the course of just a weekend. And while I've never lost my fascination with it, over the years I've wanted to better understand fire as a tool. I want to be able to use fire in very precise ways as a catalyst for creation and communication. Now, fire is as much a medium for me as metal or even software. Tim's Tips: Water and rust will accumulate shockingly fast in a disassembled flame effect. Buy a plug or cap for every open fitting to avoid grief. Avoid plastic-handled wire brushes with brazing or welding. Brushing the handle accidentally against the hot metal will leave a streak of melted plastic.
