Now the fire is burning brightly	Completed Edible Fire!


With a real fire, when done the fire bucket would be used to put out the fire and the rake or shovel would be used to stir it up until cold to the touch. However, in this case just eat the fire and drink from the fire bucket and leave a clean fire area!
