What is the recommended approach to working near flammable props or set pieces?

Working near flammable props requires strict safeguards to prevent ignition and protect the crew. The best approach is to keep flammable props at safe distances, use fire-resistant materials where possible, and maintain proper clearance from flames and heat sources. This creates a built-in buffer that reduces heat transfer, lowers the likelihood of ignition, and allows space for fire safety personnel and emergency actions if needed. Placing flammable items close to flames dramatically increases risk, relying only on water-based props doesn’t address all hazards, and removing safety clearance eliminates essential protection and violates safety standards. Following these practices keeps the workflow safer and compliant with fire safety requirements.
