Kinkly explains Fire Play

For obvious reasons, fire play is generally considered to be a type of edge play. When engaging in fire play, safety should come first and certain precautions should be taken. For instance, fire and flames should not be placed close to clothing or hair. Safewords should be established, and supplies and equipment like fire blankets, wet towels, and fire extinguishers should be kept close at hand.
